Indeed. I have a cable with a suitable plug on
one end to fit the
transformer (It's normally called a 'BS4343 plug' over here after the
British Standard that refers to it , there is a CEN number, but I can't
rememebr it :-))
IEC 309, or more correctly (and up to date) IEC 60309 or EN 60309.
Often called "Commando" plugs though that's a trademark of a particular
manufacturer. That range covers 240V as well as 110V
and covers
three-phase versions as well.
And lower voltage versions. They're colour-coded (yellow = 110V, blue =
230V, red = 415V IIRC), and the polarising key means you can't plug one
colour (voltage) plug into another socket.
