We're moving and I needed to wait for this before ordering the UPS. All I know is it's a dedicated 120 and 30 amps, but what's the common name for this type of outlet?

didn't look at pic, probably a NEMA L6-30

After fixing the link, I think its a 220V twist lock. Lowes or Home Depot should have them.

I'll double check the voltage. I have no experience with twist lock, so guess I got some googling to do. Seems like they do this so you can get whatever compatible prong setup matches your gear?

be real careful - there are many different locking plugs that look alike, but they aren't (locking mechanism is different). It should say something on the outlet.

nema L6-30 is a locking, 220 volt, 30 amp recepticle.

If it is a 120V circuit it is probaly an L5-30 outlet. It should be printed on the socket itself, too hard to see in your pic.

Isn't that the thing R2D2 plugged into on the Deathstar?
