At least it's better than a 20A breaker connected to a 16A outlet ! Graham

Available in splashproof and watertight version. Single and 3 phase. Note the 240V 125A connector ( 30 kW). Graham

No, it's actually done all the time, just not usually in the home. The place I work has test equipment, pumps, compressors, welders, etc that all are portable and run on 240. All the floor maintenance equipment is 240, and anything in the machine shop that you don't pick up to use is 240 and cabled as portable because they reconfigure frequently for special jobs. Where I used to work we had the Midas house and monitor consoles on 240 with all the other signal processing gear on 120. We gave a visiting Oz engineer 240 for his racks a few times, he was pleasantly surprised. Just about all venues in the US can supply 240, when they didn't we'd rent a small Aggreko.

However, I can't verify this because I've moved from 5 miles down the road from their factory to the other side of the world! However, I have to say that a concern I have is that making a digital console (i.e. software) is a very different skill from making an analogue console. I hope for their sake the Digital is is good...but remain to be convinced. Bob |
