Tom, The definition I've heard for this is "big & twisty". The current rating is usually 30 A or more, the plug is twisted into the socket, hence the name. Usually applies to equipment that stays in place.

One thing which is not very clear to me is the industrial plug and socket-outlet. Anyone has a definition for them, or which standard specifies it?
