Connectors for 200V dc

I have an installation that uses 200V dc (balanced about earth but not earthed). All the installed equipment is direct wired, but I have an application that needs a plug and socket. I don't want to use the standard connectors that are also used for ac to avoid ac equipment being plugged in inadvertently. The equipment in question will draw a current around 8 amps and is metal framed, not double insulated so needs an earth. I would be grateful for any suggestions/ advice.

I am sure that this has been discussed previously, but I cannot find it on the old forum.

Many thanks,

David

I guess the "correct" answer (according to standards) is a BS EN 60309 2 pole + PE connector with the earth at the 3h position (in white) - which is specifically for 50-250V d.c. Where you'd source such as beast from I've no idea though (I don't recall ever seeing such a thing even in a catalogue never mind real life).

Based on your reply, I did a quick internet search and at least found them in a catalogue (page 93)…. http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1514435.pdf
