- 3 pin 16a 230v - 13a 230v
- 5 pin 16a 400v – 13a 230v
These adaptors have nickel-plated contacts and a hinged 13 amp socket for protection. They have an IP44 splashproof rating and are suitable for most location types. The adaptor’s black back half of the body fades into the rigging, meaning it blends beautifully with its background.
What makes these adaptors different, and which suits your needs best?
The 16a 230v – 13a 230v adaptor has grown in popularity in the caravan and motorhome environment since many electrical supplies on campsites are 16a. Plus, most devices that keen campers and caravan enthusiasts bring from home are 13a.
This adaptor is also useful for mobile accommodation, like motorhomes, whilst shooting on location or staying at an event. These 3-pin (2P+PE), 50+60 Hz adaptors are so popular not just because they suit the power supply but because they are discreet and designed to be aesthetically pleasing!
The 5-pin 16a 400v – 3-pin 13a 230v adaptor is an increasingly popular item in kits for testing devices on location. If you have worked on location or at events, you know that many electrical items brought from home, the office or the studio will likely have seen better days. They may not have been safety tested, and it is always better to take precautions. Testing a device's contact through the 5pin 16a 400v adaptor is an excellent way of testing electrical items before they are let loose on site.
This adaptor is less popular for the caravan and camping sector since having a 3-phase supply on a campsite is rare.
With so many options and the versatility of these adaptors, it is easy to understand why they are KES customer favourites, especially for our customers in the events space. For more information on our adaptors, contact our team today, or you can browse the range here.
