I had an electrician do it. He used 2 20 amp breakers and 12 gauge wire. The draw is supposed to be max 10 amps on the LA-1K I believe?

The 240 volt power cord from Palstar has the NEMA standard blade arrangement for a 240 volt 20 amp outlet.? The amplifier is spec'ed to draw 10 amps at 240 volts.?

You should install a 240 volt 20 amp branch circuit.? That will require a 2 pole - 20 amp breaker, # 12 AWG wire - typically 12-2 with ground which usually has a yellow sheath, and a 240 volt 20 amp outlet.??

If you went to a 30 amp breaker, you would be required by the NEC to use #10 AWG wire and install a 240 volt 30 amp outlet - which would not allow you plug in the power cord from the Palstar amplifier because of a different (and larger) blade arrangement.?


 

He had one on each wire, not sure why all I know he was a commercial electrician. I obviously was not lol

Not one 220 breaker?? I do not think two single breakers will pass code anywhere in the US.

Did my 220v wiring. I used 10-3 wire so it should be good.
