Regarding those big industrial round plugs, are 16 A plugs/outlets the same size as 32 A plugs/outlets (i.e. would it be possible to plug a 32 A machine into a 16 A socket or are they incompatible)?
That's the whole point.Different size, ISTR the 32A ones are larger than the 16A ones.
I suppose there is little/no need in UK/Europe - which I imagine is why all the 4-pin and 5-pin ones I've seen are red.Off-topic.....Currently working on a project with 3 phase + N + E blue c-form connectors.....didn't even know they existed prior to starting the project.
Do you mean 200V phase-phase - i.e. about 115V phase-neutral?The project is in Japan, where mains supply is 200V three phase, either 50 or 60Hz depending on location.
Do you mean 200V phase-phase - i.e. about 115V phase-neutral?

Mennekes make (and sell in the UK) ALL the plugs and sockets you could ever want. There's a 5-pin blue, 5-pin yellow etc, even do a few 3 pin red.I suppose there is little/no need in UK/Europe - which I imagine is why all the 4-pin and 5-pin ones I've seen are red.

At least from wikipedia there seems to be a bit of a gap in the standard for the 5 pin plugs. The yellow is for "57–75/100–130 V" and the blue is for "120–144/208–250 V AC", so there doesn't seem to be any correct plug for 100/173 .Having said that, they quite clearly categorise the blue 5 pin as being for 230v
