That's because this reflector is plain text.
Don't bother looking. If the amp was shipped to North America, it came
with a 20A 240V plug. As others have noted, it only runs on 240V.

I don't see a picture of your plug. Looking into the 6-20P 240 vac/ 20 amp
plug with the ground pin up, it should have a vertical blade on the left and a
horizontal blade on the right. Is that what your amp came with?
The 120 vac/20 amp plug, NEMA 5-20P, has the blades reversed...horizontal

That's a little odd. Where I've had
If the ask of the electrician was to change the 110v outlet to 240v, his
response will be - you can't do that. If the request was to add/pull in a
new 240v circuit, he will be able to do that assuming your existing panel
supports adding the circuit.

That's a little odd. Where I've had 220V, I told the electrician the volts,
amps, and type of outlet I wanted appropriate to that voltage and current.
They had nothing to do with and no knowledge of what I would plugging into it,
which could be many things, like an air conditioner, machine
David,
Mine came with a standard 240 v cord and plug. Could someone have
replaced yours?
