Does anyone know if Is there any adapter that can convert my 400v 32A (5pin) to a 230v 16A (3pin)? Or do I need to buy a new cable from Porsche to connect on the mobile charger? When I ordered the taycan I choose the 400v as I had three phase in my house but now I want to install it at another location and its single phase (I want to install a blue 3 pin single phase output) I guess this 400v cable wouldn’t work, right?

I'm not an electrician, but I think adapters are incapable of changing voltage. A transformer can, however.

If your mobile charger can handle both, I would get a 230V 16A pigtail. Mixing and matching is risky. Please stay safe and don't fry anything.

I’m not sure if i understand your problem… I got two cables, one for 220V, another one for 400V.

Given the cost of the Porsche tail to plug into their transformer, you might be better buying a whole new transformer

You would have received 2 supply cables to connect your PMC+ / PMCC to your supply outlet - 1 for your normal wall socket and the other an industrial connector.

I think you need to source the 32A industrial supply cable which is rated up to 400v (I think).

Ask your electrician for guidance.

My hunch is the cable you have is rated up to 400v and if the single phase outlet / receptacle supported the connector then it would work.

I have a 32A outlet on single phase using the 32A / 400v cable. Your voltage is the same as UK I think.
