[Elecraft] KPA1500 AC Mains wire colours

[Peter Hall]

Ken, Doug

Ken is correct.  Your amplifier comes with a US colour coded cable and, for your 230V supply, black is active, white is neutral and green is earth.

I had some additional searching to find an Australian heavy duty plug that would fit the supplied mains cable and a standard 240V outlet, but was in the end successful.

Regards,
Peter, VK6HP

Doug,I don't have a KPA1500 but these are the standard power cord wire colors and functions:

*Function   USA      Europe*
Neutral       White    Blue
Hot             Black     Brown
Ground       Green   Green/Yellow stripe

If there is any doubt you can send an email to Elecraft; they are very responsive and helpful.
