Hi,
I’d like to know if the direction of a Schuko plugs in one of the 5 PPP intakes matters, or being the AC regenerated there is no such thing as ‘intake phase lookup’ with the PPP.

Best regards,
Fabrizio

The plugs definitely have a polarity.  Make sure they are all going the same way.  I don’t have a lot of experience with using these - and understand it might be problematic to tell which way to go.  I wish we had more control over the type of plug used, but alas, there’s not a lot we can do and still stay in accordance with CE.

Ciao Fabrizio,

Not yet, but I’m going to use a phasefinder tool to understand the polarity of the wall AC intake and plug in the PPP accordingly.

Paul, can we assume the internal wiring to the IEC of the PPP follows this schema?

So the phase pin, from the behind is the right one for all plugs.
