Ordinary 110V plug for your part of the world. Standard household outlets
in the USA are 110V 15 amp. Some are 115V 20amp indicated by a cross cut on
one pin, but the same plug will go into either outlet.

I doubt that compressor will draw 15 amps unless there is something wrong
with it.

5 amp fuse mine untill I switched the wiring on the motor over to 240.
Now it's on a 20 amp 240 volt circuit - no more worries.
