[Amps] AM-6155 amp, was 220V wiring: Was Question about safety ground connection

[Michael J. Clarson]

 I have no problem understanding the discussion so far, but I have a wiring
question I'd like to resolve before connecting my AM-6155 VHF amp. Power
connector on the amp is, I believe, an ML3-R (it fits)which should be used
in a 3 Pole, 3 Wire 125/250 Volt, Non grounding configuration. My confusion
is what kind of connector do I put on the cord? Can I run it on 125, or do I
need 250? Is center a ground or a Neutral? Is anyone familiar with this?

Mike,

AMEN! You have to use a 4 wire cord if you intend on having access to 120
and 240 vac from the same source. NEC rules does not allow using a neutral
for a hot, plus you need a ground. The NEC actually had a change here
recently about new stoves, etc requiring a seperate ground if I recall.

Best,

Will
