[Elecraft] Plug on KPA-1500

[N4ST - Jim]

Make sure the plug on the KPA-1500 isn't a 20A 220V plug which looks a lot
like a regular 120V plug only the blades are rotated 90°.

Oops! I just looked at the KPA1500 specifications and found this for 
Supply Voltage and Current: 200 to 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz up to 20A.

There is no mention of 120V, so your electrician will need to run a 240V 
circuit (probably 25A or 30A) to a correctly sized 240V receptacle. 
You'll need to cut off the 120V plug and install a mating 240V plug on 
that power cable.
