    I have use plug it’s white one in first post compatible with house Socket here close up plug and house outlet

    Here what builder said

    Hello Joe.

    do not worry about the 220v wire sizes.

    does not matter if you put more thick cables this will not give more voltage. on the 220v input of amplifier we have low current about 10A peaks.

    if you put your white cable in line on your 220v plug at your home check in which 2 wires is the 220v and which wire is the ground.
    this way you will be sure that you give to the correct wires the 220v and the ground.you must connect 220v to the brown and blue cables and ground to the yellow cable

    The two angled wires on the USA cable are LINES...  Between them goes the 220-221 whatever it takes  The straight between those two is the system ground.  As long as there's nothing else done inside the box, it should fly. As long as what Lasse said is the way things go, and the builder didn't do some odd connections, it should work, but would be nice to get a clear pic a look at a schematic would be better.  But we are moving forward, :-)

    Further googling.  It’s an American Part for Servere so no phasing issues.
