Re: Another power distro threadWhat issue do you see here? Virtually all commercial buildings are 3-phase, and therefore virtually all "single phase" 14-series range plugs in commercial buildings actually provide 208 volts between the two hots. You might get 240 volts at your house, but rarely will you get it at a venue.You can make an argument that this ~10% voltage difference equals slightly lower power rail voltages for a 240 volt capable amplifier, meaning potentially slightly less deliverable power, but most amps large enough to need voltages higher than 120 are internally regulated and are more dependant on a stiff current supply than the no-load input voltage. And since you can't change the building's supply voltage anyway, you just run with it.
