[Elecraft] Breakers for KPA1500?

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I split off with a 120 volt duplex outlet from L1 and another from L2 
and I have a 240 volt outlet for the amp.  Thus both neutral and ground 
are needed for the 120 volt duplex outlets. The configuration is very 
adequate, legal,  and safe for the entire station.
