--- Quote ---For higher currents and voltages the norm I know of is CEEFORM. --- End quote --- the ceeform is a great connector,and thankfully become almost a standard for industrial power connectors upto 125A ,yea theirs versions upto 800A ,but there like rocking horse manure, gone are the days of trying to find a plug to fit the obscure walsall / telemecanique/lewden sockets that had been fitted sevral aeons ago |

Must admit the aussy piggy back plug is an interesting idea --- End quote --- Pretty sure that's nonsense, even if cable is 4mm^2 the BS1363 plug is definitely not rated for more than 13A and socket ring mains are typically installed with 32A MCBs. |

Why is there a fuse in the plug? and what is the rating of 4mm flex? |
