[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 113799, member: 162"] Re: Locking IEC Euro spec vs USA Euro cords are smaller because they are presumed to be used at 240V, which means 1/2 the current of our 120V. I've done a similar thing to the C19 cables that came with my ITechs - I've saved the original 5-20P versions, and have cut the Euro plugs off and put Powercons on, which is my distribution method of choice. Since the cable is so short (therefore not much voltage drop) and I don't bury my amps in clip mode, I haven't worried about it and have experienced no ill effects. I would guess that your powered speaker application would be similar. Someday I'll probably order some 12-ga C19 cords to do it a little bit better, but haven't gotten around to that yet. [/QUOTE]
