I'm missing something here!I keep seeing the question being asked, " What size
cable is the power cord?"
How about employing the KISS theory.
Would it not make sense to make up an extension cord with a length to the
approximate
desired location from the power source?
Such an extension would be fitted with proper receptacle as required by
code,and is capable of
at least twice the Amperage required by the KPA1500.

Mike,
I went directly to Elecraft with my question. The answer is 6g.
I was told to be sure to use the correct crimp tool for the job. If I
make the cable I'll probably just have Powerwerx handle it as they have
the correct hydraulic tool for the job.
