[Elecraft] KPA500 - 500W out on 120VAC?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Another point to consider is whether the outlet is on a 20A or 15A circuit.
15A is common in bedroom wall outlets, etc. If you are transmitting with the
KPA500 at 500 watts and the XYL happens for turn on her vacuum cleaner (many
draw 10 to 12 amps) on the same circuit, you'll probably have a sudden
interruption until the breaker is reset. 

Of course the same is true of many household appliances that might happen to
share that circuit.

...I discovered that the wall power I had been using was wired into the GFI
breaker in the guest bathroom. This thing has kicked out from non-radio
activity things and I could just see this happening in the heat of a
contest, etc.
