I run my complete station, including a KPA500, off one 120V 20A service.
The amp recently blew up but it wasn't due to supply voltage.

Dear Folks:
I have operated my KPA 500 off of a normal wall out let (120 volts) for years
now and have gotten good service. However, I've often wondered if there would
be a definite advantage to getting 240 volt service into the shack, so that I
could operate the amp off of that supply, as opposed to a normal wall outlet.
I recognize that there would be less current draw. My question would be
whether it would lessen the wear and tear on the amp if I switched to 240 volts?
Thanks and 73 de Bernie, KF0QS
