Seems like if the c14 was connected to a 240v PDU the 5-15 would deliver 240v to the equipment, arc/pop tripping the breaker on the PDU as soon as it is connected killing power to everything on that PDU.
Or am I missing something, Also hard to believe it is UL since the c14 is rated 125/250v and well captain obvious says the 5-15 125v max. -----Original Message----- From: david raistrick [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 5:37 PM To: Joe Greco Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Why choose 120 volts?

Don't believe me, buy one and put a voltmeter across it. I'll leave the FUD to others. --- david raistrick http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html [email protected] http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
