[Elecraft] [KPA500]KPA500 power cord question

I bought mine from Phil's source after reading his earlier note.

I'm planning to wire my new shack with a couple of NEMA 6-15/20R receptacles
and the corresponding 20A circuits. 

The 20A circuits are sufficient for legal limit amplifiers, and the cost
difference between 15 and 20A capacity is often minor. 20A is a very common
circuit capacity.

The NEMA 6-15/20R receptacle accepts either NEMA 6-15P or 6-20P plugs.

I run my KPA500 on 240VAC.  I purchased a C13615P-6 power cord from
www.cables.com ($12.00 plus $6.45 shipping) which matches the NEMA 6-15
240VAC outlet receptacle in my shack.  Plug-N-Play.  This just replaces the
120VAC cord that came with the KPA500.
