Product Information

Full details

This Masterplug 5-meter Mode 3 electric vehicle charging cable is designed for EV owners using 3-phase charging infrastructure. It offers a key benefit of significantly faster charging (up to 22kW) compared to standard domestic single-phase chargers, reducing downtime. A caveat to consider is its specific compatibility with Type 2 connectors and 3-phase power. Key features include a robust 32A rating, Type 2 to Type 2 connectivity, IP55 weather resistance, and a generous 5-meter length for flexible parking situations.

FAQs

What is the maximum charging speed this cable supports?

This cable supports up to 32A on a 3-phase supply, allowing for charging speeds of up to 22kW.

Is this cable compatible with all electric vehicles?

It is compatible with most electric vehicles that use a Type 2 charging port, which is standard for most European vehicles. Always check your vehicle's charging port type.

Can I use this cable with a single-phase charger?

Yes, you can use this cable with a single-phase charger, but it will only charge at the single-phase rate supported by the charger (e.g., up to 7.4kW), not its maximum 22kW capability.

Is the cable suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the cable has an IP55 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions.

How do I clean the charging cable connectors?

Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the connectors. Ensure they are completely dry before plugging them in. Avoid using water or any cleaning agents.

What should I do if the cable appears damaged?

If you notice any cuts, fraying, or damage to the cable or connectors, do not use it. Contact Masterplug technical support for advice or a replacement.

Troubleshooting

Charging does not start

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the charging station and the vehicle. Verify that the charging station is powered on and correctly configured for 3-phase charging. Check your vehicle's charging settings.

Intermittent charging or error messages

Inspect the Type 2 connectors on both ends for any debris or damage. Clean them gently with a dry cloth. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive tension or strain.

Cable feels unusually warm during charging

While some warmth is normal, excessive heat could indicate a poor connection or an issue with the charging station or vehicle. Discontinue charging and contact technical support.

Incompatible connection error

Confirm that both your vehicle and the charging station utilize Type 2 connectors. This cable is not compatible with Type 1 connectors.
