For industrial use there is a 16A plug available. Socket outlets for this plug are usually installed in lab/industrial areas but never in a consumer environment.

Our regular, local mains delivers 230V/16A and the regular plug used is made for that. But in the UK i.e., any suggestions? We installed an alternative to use the unit at 400V/ 3~, delivered without a plug with instructions that a qualified tech to install the unit, of course. Hard wired or with plug depending on local rules. Mike Subject: RE: High Current Plug for UK and ROK (18-Nov-2005 11:15) From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Scott The product would have to be hard wired in to the consumer's electrical installation. This is usually achieved by connecting via a "fused connection unit" or directly back to the consumer unit. There is no plug that can be used in a consumer environment that is rated > 13A. My cooker which is 16A rated came only with wiring terminals. I suppose you could have a suitably rated flex with stripped tails. An example of an FCU can be seen here: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=101470&ts=08600&id=29775 The instructions for use would have to state that the wiring should not be performed by the end user but a qualified electrician should be employed. Can't help you with Korea I'm afraid.

The standard BS-1363 plug is fused at a maximum of 13 amps as far as I can tell. If the product draws more than 13 amps but less than 30 amps, what is the preferred / required plug for a consumer product? The mains cord is hard-wired to the product. The EU version of the product has an IEC-309 plug. Same question goes for Korea. Consumer product, more than 13 amps, less than 30 amps, hard-wired mains cord. What is the preferred / required plug? Would a NEMA 6-50P plug (UL/CSA approvals only) be useable or acceptable in either country? Thank you for your kind assistance..
