Sounds like a trip to W.F. Electrical is on the cards, to buy a plug and socket 3P + E , Alto, of course.

Ok, to satisfy Paul's burning desire for more information on this topic...

I have concluded (based on photo's, not actually going back to look at it all, you understand

) that the existing socket;

Is gauge A;

Whereas my new plug;

Is gauge B;

Nope.
a) I hate 'em. Big, bulky and zero durability
b) I'm not forking out for a sparky to re-wire it all

I have a cunning plan...

Can you get an another plug and wire it?

Jam screwdrivers in the holes, and wrap the bare cables round them, then spray the whole mess with expanding foam so no-one knows?

There's nothing wrong with 'commando' plugs ('hubbles', I've known them as), 16A, splash proof, lockable, and they are very durable.

Better than that thing you have anyway.

Mount a surface outlet and use a cable plug to connect it.

Or simply get a 20A isolator and hard-wire it.

Yar, I'v worked with ceeform plugs for years and never had a problem. And I have been in many many dodgy situations with generators and its never been the plugs (unless someone has wired 3phase the wrong way round

)

Only just read this thread, really impressed with what you have done there. Will be worth all the hard work in the end
