[Elecraft] The 1500 watt amp

[Graham Kimbell]

Watching this from afar, I notice the irony - US has 1500W limit but not 
enough (120v) mains power to use it, whilst the UK has loads of mains 
power (240v at 13A) but only a 400W limit.

> The KPA500 can be run from any decent 120VAC mains outlet as long as there aren't too many other loads on it. But going above that power level forces the Ham to have 240 VAC in the shack, something many of us do not normally plan for. That can be a very expensive addition to the cost of the amp, especially if the mains panel is not expandable as needed.
