[Elecraft] Operating KPA500 on 220V

[Doug Person]

I meant to say change the fuses and reconfigure the fuse block...  I was 
actually reading the manual when I asked that question.  On other 
amplifiers I was required to change internal transformer wiring to setup 
for 220v.  That's what I meant to ask.

So switching the fuses and changing the fuse block is all I need to do.  
No other internal wiring required.
