Shunyata Anaconda CX power cord - Ok to use on 240 VAC?

Bar81,

Thank you for your reply. This is what I thought.

Williewonka,

I totally understand your concerns about local electrical code. Do not worry, I have done my homeworks. The 10 gauge wire is Ok to operate in 240 VAC with a 20 amp breaker. The wire is UL certified. My outlets are Furutech GTX-D (R) and have been certified to operate up to 240 VAC by the manufacturer.

@dasign - I’ll make a general comment about "most" conductors used for the construction of power cables - they are tested to operate safely at temerpatures up to 200C, and also to withstand voltages up to 600V.

Shunyata, being a very respectable company, would probably ensure their cables operate within those metrics. So from a safey perspective I do not believe their cables would present any risk at 240v

HOWEVER - taking the approach of using 240v vs.120 volt in your home would require input from a licensed electrician.

There is no telling how many "codes" you may be violating? e.g.
- size of the wire required - 10 gauge may not be enough
- two phase plugs in north america tend to be built for much heavier duty
- outlets may have to be of the larger variety

And then there is UL certifiication of the cables to 240v
- if there was a fire would the insurance company pay out?
- maybe not

Personally - I would not recommend  this approach

Absolutely fine.  I've used my Anaconda CXs for years at 230V without any issues (later upgraded to King Cobra CX which I'm still using). 

I would wait to hear from them directly.  Gabriel usually answers within a day or two.  Doubtful many of us here could answer your question with absolute certainty.  Although George or Almarg would probably know.
