Abstract
The invention relates to a voltage transformer () including a housing () which encloses, at least partially, a mains plug () connectable to a mains voltage source, a terminal plug () connectable to a terminal, and a voltage-transforming circuit, said housing () comprising a first housing component () and a second housing component () movably connected to said first housing component () by a guide means and implemented as a reception means () for receiving therein the terminal, and said voltage transformer () being adapted to be moved from a transport position to a charging position. In order to improve the handiness of the voltage transformer () during charging and, in particular, during transport, the present invention is so conceived that, at the transport position, the housing components () have been moved relative to one another such that the space occupied at the transport position is smaller than that occupied at the charging position.
