Hi,

I have Mennekes (Germany) 60amp 4 wire 250vac Plugs and Jacks for my three
phase coil. They are the coolest, high quality plugs I've ever seen. They
are moisture proof, very safe for hot connect/disconnect and easily accept
the biggest SOW cable I have been able to scrounge. Negative: these are not
cheap.

Hi,

At that current, you may be better served by Camlok connectors.  You would 
want the baby types.  For stage use, we use the full size units that can 
handle 400A and 4/0 cable.  They are expensive at around $50 per connector, 
but you have a solid, waterproof, and high current connection.
