You can use a two prong plug for the SainSmart. I have 2 of them and they work great with two prong plugs.

This is kinda up to you. The amp assembly comes on a PCB (there is no "chassis"). If you decide to put this into a housing and the housing is metal then it might be a good idea to bolt the transformer to the case and add a grounding tag (3-pin). It would have the advantage of providing a ground shield and also some added safety (remember you're dealing with voltages in the range of 100-200V with this unit. If you choose a non-conducting case (or no case at all - beware those voltages, in this case) then 3-prong has no advantages.Hope this helps.

For your safety I would recommend you buy the 3 prong ac plug. This unit really should be placed into a metal case that can be grounded. You would tie the ground from ac cord to the metal case. I wouldn't recommend you run this open because there are lethal voltages. For the money this is a nice little unit what I notice the most about it was it warms up the bass and widens the sound stage.

Two prong is fine as long as it's polarized which I believe all cords are these days. I just cut an extension cord in half and stripped the bare wires back. The wire that goes to the larger size plug is the ground so be sure to get that right when connecting to the unit.

You don't need buy two. use power strip,you can use more than one products. Remember power total do not over 1000W

The lamp has 2 prongs. It's totally OK to plug it into a 3 prong strip. If an electrical appliance is all plastic on the outside, you don't get a third prong. You don't need it. You get everything you need with just 2-prongs, even if you plug into a 3-prong strip. Not to worry.The folks that let you tie into great big power sources do try to keep you out of trouble. If you can plug something in, without cheating, it's ok, go for it.

The cord that it comes with it 2 prong. They do make adapters that will convert it to 3 prong for a couple bucks at your local hardware store. Overall for the price the lamp has done what I needed it to do.

Any three prong cord for an amp, movie projector, or any PC cord will work. I have used several different cords on mine and they all work just fine.

I have a 3 prong cord and it works fine, and I have had the cord for a while now,and never have had a problem..Hope this helps.

It does not have 3 prong plug. How do I know if its UL listed? What does that mean?

Both ends are 3-prong plugs. A 2-prong could be plugged into it but need a 3-prong wall connect.

No. It has three vice two prongs. My wife who attempted to use it just bought a 2-prong outlet/converter (which is required. also) on the local economy.

A 2 prong should be no problem. 3 prong -- maybe. I think it is about 3/4 of an inch.

In the US, you should be able to plug in two prong cables, power converters, etc. The third prong is for ground, so what ever you plug in with a two prong connector will simply not have a dedicated ground. But that should be ok, not everything needs a ground. If you are not in the US, or your house is not wired with three prong outlets, then you will not be able to use these cables and should return them.

two prong is required, but you can use a 3-prong. Be sure to use a 12-gauge cable if over 100 feet. 14 gauge is OK under 100 feet. It is hard to find a 12 gauge cable with only 2 prongs.

A 2 prong has a neutral line (-)and a connection line (+). A 3 prong has both plus a ground line for a fault path in the event of a hot wire,or device connected should short out.

No. Just make sure your computer has 220 volts. If not , you need to get a converter to plug in to the 3 prong plug and then plug your computer into the converter.

No problem. I'm not sure, but I seem to remember it may require a 3 prong extension cord.

It's a regular household non grounded 2 prong plug.. I would think you could get a 3 prong grounded adapter for about a dollar at any hardware store(Homedepot Lowes..

The one I purchased came just came with a standard 2-prong AC power cable as used in the US.
