Welding Tips and Tricks

My new TIG welder uses this plug:

I need an adapter to connect it to my fuse box. I assume that it is 230 VAC.

So I need a female version of this plug. I searched the web but found nothing.

Can anyone identify it, and perhaps provide a NEMA number?

Thank you for your help.

Thats looks like a standard 110v plug, 230v would have a flat prong horizontal

This should be the correct outlet.

DSM8 has it right, that appears to be a 50A 230v plug, and the outlet he linked is correct.
