how to run a 230 volt line from my panel??

You have to make sure you have sufficient service to the panel first, and then

The chassis will not get "live" in the event you describe, chassis is wired with ground only, not neutral. The three wires terminated in a standard 110V outlet in a residential setting are Phase, Neutral and Ground. In a standard 220V outlet it is Phase, Opposing Phase and Ground there is no neutral.

Again I strongly recommend that you get an electrician to do this for you this way you should avoid any costly mixups.

Ya, and if the electrician is a State licensed electrician with any smarts he will tell Fluffers he can not install a 240V branch circuit for his/her CDP. Even if Fluffers insists.

The electrician is the professional here in the eyes of the AHJ, (Authority Having Jurisdiction).
The electrician/Contractor will own the installation for life. And any future lawsuits that could go along with it.
LOL, the professional will lose if he tells the court the customer insisted!

Liability alone would/should make the electrician think twice! There are want to be's out there though.....

Jea,

Why do you think there is any "risk" in installing a 220V line in a residential setting. If done properly there is no more risk in this than a 120V line. There are special outlets for just this purpose.

And they have special AC plugs designed for this as well

220V AC Cord Cap

Pretty straight forward - till now - its the back end of the AC cord that you need to pay attention to - MARK it clearly - this way you avoid accidentally plugging it into the back of a 120V component.

Id state again that for a low power consuming device like a CD player that generally don't use more then 10 - 20W just go with a isolation step up transformer you will get much more bang for your buck this way and probably better sound too because of the isolation part.

Hammond step-up isolation transformer

This will plug straight into your wall and here is the plug you need to plug into the Hammond

250V/15A Cord Cap And ill say it again, mark the back end of your power cord!

Good listening

One last comment - consider your household insurance policy!

Companies do anything to get out of paying for damage - your solution might just be their "get-out-of-jail-free" card?

Of course, this applies to ANY DIY "power related" project.

Having said that, many Agon'ers probably live with this on a daily basis :-)

Something to ponder - may good fortune always smile upon you, whatewver your solution.
