I just bought a used Centaur and want to change from 110v to 220v source. Have reconfigured jumpers for 220v but don't understand the color code to install 220 plug on power cord. Changing from AL811

Hi Mike, The convention is that blue in a blue/green/brown cord corresponds to white in white/green/black cord. And brown corresponds to black. Green or green with a yellow stripe is ground. In a thr

A million thanks to Chuck and Vicki, and to Ken. Your info was invaluable and got the old Centaur working. And Ken, you are obviously correct about the "neutral" thing. I knew better but was in a hur

I have yet to see a commercially built 120/240 VAC Ham amplifier with a step down transformer to run the 120 VAC fan and probably the filament transformer as well... Some may exist, but I have yet to

Hi Chuck, Most ham amplifiers have dual primaries on their single power transformer, which can be connected in series for 240 VAC operation, or in parallel for 120 VAC. Since they can be wired for ei

A bit more detail and history: In the old NEC convention a 230 volt service was made up of three wires. Those being L1, L2 and ground or neutral being the third wire. Standard colors are Black, White

It used to be accepted to run 220 volt equipment with 110 volt loads with a 3 wire cord. It is not these days. Simply because it can be deadly. I have examined such death traps on several occasions,

Well on 220 volt systems there is no neutral as such. Only two hot leads, and ground. One would expect that the green wire is ground of course. That leaves the other two as hot. 73 de Gary, AA2IZ sta

No manufacturer could ever sell something that ran load current on the ground wire. They would create a massively unsafe condition, and in the event that the worst happened, they would be sued out of

That's because YOUR power system, like those in EU, is an unbalanced 230V system -- or 230-0-230 for larger loads. The North American power system is 120-0-120. Ordinary loads are unbalanced, from on
