Question about EcoFlow Delta 2

I have already seen feedback from customers who have received a "CH version" of an earlier Ecoflow Delta. (apparently a protective earth conductor was integrated there). My question; why do three of the four AC connections have to be made unusable for the CH market and why is it not possible to use an adapter plug Schuko - CH plug? Additional question; Ecoflow specifies that only one consumer may/should be connected per AC output. Is it allowed to connect a multiple plug to the CH version in order to make up for the loss of the three AC outputs? Thank you for the answers, so I can decide more quickly whether I can now order from digitec or have to look for an EU version ;P

Important! All information without guarantee. I assume no responsibility for the correctness of the information and in no case tinker with the power station myself!

This has something to do with the standard. If the current is drawn via the inverter (i.e. via the battery), the protective conductor is missing. If, for example, a toaster with a metal housing is connected and there is a defective conductor inside, this can be fatal, as there can be current on the housing.
Such a power supply system is called an IT system. According to the standard (NIN?), only one consumer without multiple plugs etc. may be connected to such a network.
If an FI (RCD) were to be connected in between and a protective earth conductor created, we would be talking about a TN network. This can be compared to the normal house mains and several devices including multiple plugs may be connected.
If the power station is permanently connected to the house mains, all three conductors are looped through (at least as long as there is no power failure) and one may presumably also use all four sockets. However, this is only theory and the status can of course change permanently.
It doesn't matter whether Swiss sockets are installed or not. A Schucko socket also has one (or even two) protective earth contacts.
Both Swiss and Schucko sockets do not have a protective contact when the current is drawn from the battery.

Again, it is important to note that you cannot simply connect an RCD in between. This would have to be done by a specialist with an appropriate earthing relay if the station is not used exclusively autonomously. For this very reason, you must not simply feed your motorhome with a power station. That is really dangerous to life!

I hope I remembered everything correctly. It was a few years ago. Otherwise, just ask a specialist. He can explain it in detail.

I bought this and clamp it in between.
