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,

  • I visited Castle Drogo in Devon yesterday which had a DC installation until the 1970's and spotted this on the way around:

    It was supplied from the hydro electric turbines and this  distribution board :
