3-phase to 15A adaptors

[chuq]

Can anyone recommend a particular make or model of the above style adaptor?

For reference, I'm not referring to the portable Chademo units that allow you to DC fast charge.  Just something which will let me use a 3-phase socket (32A - 5-pin) to charge with my normal EVSE.

I have an Ampfibian 10A-15A converter and it is great, I notice they have a similar 3phase-15A product now: ampfibian.com.au/product/industrial-series/ (The TP-32 in particular)

Bunnings lists it on their website as $299: www.bunnings.com.au/ampfibian-tp-32-three-phase-to-single-phase-power-adaptor_p7050111

There are products like this on eBay, slightly cheaper ($270): www.ebay.com.au/itm/Portable-Power-board-32-Amp-3-phase-5-pin-supply-to-1-x-240v-15-Amp-RCBO-outlet/162638350552

Of course if buying something like this, it makes a lot of sense to buy something that can provide power to multiple vehicles, but they start getting into the $600+ range.

You should be able to make up an adaptor for under $100. You would need a 3 phase plug, a 15 amp single phase extension socket, and some 15 amp 3 core cable.

You wont get it cheaper than that unless you use second hand parts.

Would love to make one, any further info I can use to create it?

You connect the earth of the 3 phase to the earth of the single phase, the neutral to neutral, and only ONE of the 3 phase actives to the 15 amp active. This maybe illegal if you are not a licensed electrician and correct connections are done securely and safely.
