Jack - good evening (or maybe good morning!). Great info and thanks for the
quick response. I have my setup exactly as in Fred Cady's KX3 book, towards the
end of the book. He has a great diagram showing how to run a KPA500 from a K3
or KX3. Do you have his book? If not I'll respond and tell you
The KPA500 is my work, so I’ll try to answer…

Electric ranges used to have a 110 VAC outlet in which the ground and
neutral were wired together. (The 220V plug had only three prongs.) I
always wondered how they got away with that.

Installing a 240V outlet is not a big deal unless the construction of
your home makes it difficult to run the cable. Barring that, a competent
electrician should be able to do that in a half day; a difficult run
could double the work. All that is required is a pair plus a Green wire.

There are some statements that may require clarification - I think the

The need for 220 VAC is a very good point, Ray.
Operating from 110 VAC has always been a

Sure, you can run a 1KW room heater from 110V... so what if the line
voltage sags to 100V on that circuit.. the heater will just deliver a

If the voltage sags to 100V you are likely to cause a serious fire.
