Same here, my K4, KPA500, and everything else in my radio room operates
one 120V 20A circuit.
My KPA500 has been powered from 120V since it arrived here new in 2011.

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
