I would like to first thank for anyone whos taking the time to read and give any information on the topic, I appreciate it very much!
@TheRan - Sadly, I did search for a Type H socket to Mennekes Type 2 but there is nothing to be found... maybe my searching keywords weren't on spot but I doubt it.
I already accepted the fact I'll have to create such an adapter, hence comes my worries on connecting the right cables from the charger to the right pins on the type 2 male inlet.
From what I vaguely understand from all the answers is that in order to create such an adapter I can skip connecting anything to the PP and CP pins???
Israeli Type H socket has 3 pins, N(Neutral), L(Line/Power) and ⏚(Protective Ground).
I can easily create an adapter from a Type H socket to a Type 2 male inlet but the PP / CP pins will remain without any connection.
Type H Socket --> Type 2 (Male) Inlet
N N
L L1
⏚ PE
Now we have a Single Phase Type H to a Single Phase Type 2 adapter.
However, the PP and CP pins remain untouched, the question here is:
1. Will the charger work with this adapter? the PP and CP communication pins are not mandatory?
2. Will I gain anything from connecting the CC cable on the charger (see my original message for pictures) to the PP pin on the Type 2 inlet?
3. Will I gain anything from connecting the CP cable on the charger to the CP pin on the Type 2 inlet?
