broadgage:
Purple Ceeform plugs and sockets are readily available but are designed for nominal 24/25 volt circuits. In practice used for AC or DC but only for up to about 28 volts maximum, such as a 24 volt battery on charge. Not suited for 200 volts.
White Ceeforms for nominal 50 volt systems also allegedly exist, though I have never seen one.
As only one socket is needed I still feel that a BS 543 15 amp outlet is the best solution, look for an old one that incorporates a DC rated switch, fleabay is your friend ! Or a modern UNSWITCHED type with a DC rated switch adjacent. A modern 15 amp socket with an integral AC only microgap switch would not be suitable.
A BS 543 type outlet would also look more suitable in a heritage situation.
