No need for a plug & recept. Using the fusable disconnect is your means of disconnect. Just get a one armed disconnect to pull down to disconnect power with the cover closed, Very safe. The circuit breaker is the disconnect for the wire run. Keep it simple & cheap too. A 50 amp 250 volt recept will cost around $50.00 & the cord cap is the same. Save the $100 & use a 60 amp nema 1 disconnect fusable box & run S.O. cord to the compressor motor. Much less money too!
