[Amps] HL-2K

[Kevin LaHaie]

I have an HL-1K from THP, and the power cord is only 2 conductors.  The 
manual gives wiring schemes for 100v, 110v, 117/120v, 200v,220v, and 
234/240v.

Only the 2 leads are illustrated (obviously a hot / neutral for 
100-120v, 2 hots for 240v).  It shows no ground OR neutral connections 
to the wiring terminals.

So I am also curious to see what is recommended to wire one of these 
early THP amps for single phase 240v if putting the green (neutral) wire 
to the chassis is a no-no. (obviously I had planned to put a 3 wire cord 
on this amp, perhaps now it will need a 4 wire?)

The neutral (in combination with 1 of the hot wires) is used to give you a 120VAC power connection (for relays, small power supplies, fans, whatever).
