That looks like the sort of connector used for 3-phase supplies, mostly used for industrial applications.

Isn't that called a Ceeform connector? (may be wrong though)

Generically known as BS4343 Plugs and scokets. Ceeform is one of many companies manufacturing this type of equipment.

For information on product ranges i would suggest the following

www.lewden.net
www.gewiss.com

but there are many others out there and if you get stuck try googling for companies such as Mennekes, Legrand, Garo.

Hope this helps.
