Why? 32A 3-phase CEE connectors (the red ones) are very common, especially 
since most electrical installations (even domestic) are 3-phase. We have 
several in our museum, for example for the IBM 1130, the IBM 3340 disk 
drives and the three-rack HP system. You can also have 16A CEE connectors. 
Older installations may still have Perilex connectors.
