David, I was hoping someone from Elecraft would have stepped in to answer your question.
I assume you are in the USA. My KPA-1500 came with a 6-20P 240V plug like here: https://shop.worldcordsets.com/shop/categories/NEMA-620P-Power-Cords . Your picture did not come through, so if your plug is different, I would contact Elecraft. I was not aware that Elecraft has ever meant the amplifier to be operated on 120V, at least from what the specs say. Elecraft would know if your amp was wired for 120V. If your plug is similar to the ones on the link, I'm concerned why the electrician would have said that it was a 120V cord. The 6-20P is definitely a 240V (USA) plug. If all else fails, ask him to install a 240V 6-20P outlet for you. Again, do contact Elecraft if your plug is different from the link above.

Here is a photo of the power plug my KPA1500 came with:David F.
