230VAC on 3 wires?  Never knew they did 3 wire 220V....  I always assumed it was still 2 hots and ground (plus an optional neutral).

Ken is correct.  Your amplifier comes with a US colour coded cable and, for 
your 230V supply, black is active, white is neutral and green is earth.

I had some additional searching to find an Australian heavy duty plug that 
would fit the supplied mains cable and a standard 240V outlet, but was in the 
end successful.

Doug,I don't have a KPA1500 but these are the standard power cord wire colors 
and functions:

*Function   USA      Europe*
Neutral       White    Blue
Hot             Black     Brown
Ground       Green   Green/Yellow stripe

If there is any doubt you can send an email to Elecraft; they are very 
responsive and helpful.

Dear OMs or YLs,
      I have a new KPA1500 for use in Europe.  Mine came from Elecraft
direct and thus has a US style mains plug and I assume US colour coded
AC power
lead.    What are the USA colours for Live, Neutral and Ground?

The manual does not supply a schematic and I do not want to open the amp at
this time.   I can look on line for this information but am asking as
regards the KPA1500 so as to be certain.

Thank you.
