I recently got a 50A back-to-back kit, and while making it up, realised that the NEMA connectors aren't quite to code in Ireland. We seem to mostly use IEC60309 for high current stuff.

Does anyone have recommendations for connectors that'd fit into NEMA-sized holes ? Or should I go 'screw it', and just go with the NEMA sockets ? Seems it's pretty..hard to get 50A rated connectors on the usual websites Smile

If I was you I would stick with the NEMA. I bought the 30A kit with NEMA inputs and outputs and they are strictly speaking not kosher in the UK either. However, they are safe and they work, so just fit them.
