FWIWm that was a standard connector over here at one time. Made by Bulgin
IIRC< and used (amaszingly) for mains. It's not longer approved for mains
use (since you can unscrew the cap without using a tool and touch live
parts), but they're still very easy to find and not expensive.

Is thins like 'how do you test the valves in the valve tester' :-)
The answer, at least in my case, is a 'spare' iron (I keep) and some way
of powering it (bench supply, for example).
