摘要： An energy supply arrangement for supplying a motor vehicle with electrical energy via a conductive plug connection, includes a stationary charging station and a charging socket which is arranged on board the motor vehicle, the charging station having a charging plug which can be extended in the direction of the motor vehicle. It is provided that the charging plug has a cylindrical base body, on the lateral surface of which multiple electrical contacts are arranged, the base body being encompassed by a protective ring which covers the contacts in a first position and releases the contacts in a second position for contacting counter contacts of the charging socket. A method for operating an energy supply arrangement is also provided.

摘要： A charging socket for a power supply arrangement for supplying a motor vehicle with electrical energy via a conductive plug connection has at least one electrical mating contact for conductively contacting a contact of a charging station. The electrical mating contact is displaceably mounted with respect to a central longitudinal axis of the charging socket in the radial direction between a first mating contact position and a second mating contact position different from the first mating contact position, wherein the charging socket has an adjusting ring which is mounted rotatably about the central longitudinal axis and has at least one adjustment ramp which, in a first angular position of the adjusting ring, permits a displacement of the electrical mating contact into the first mating contact position and, in a second angular position of the adjusting ring, pushes the electrical mating contact into the second mating contact position. A power supply arrangement and a method for operating a charging socket are also provided.
