@dasign - I’ll make a general comment about "most" conductors used for the construction of power cables - they are tested to operate safely at temerpatures up to 200C, and also to withstand voltages up to 600V.
Shunyata, being a very respectable company, would probably ensure their cables operate within those metrics. So from a safey perspective I do not believe their cables would present any risk at 240v
HOWEVER - taking the approach of using 240v vs.120 volt in your home would require input from a licensed electrician.
There is no telling how many "codes" you may be violating? e.g.
- size of the wire required - 10 gauge may not be enough
- two phase plugs in north america tend to be built for much heavier duty
- outlets may have to be of the larger variety
And then there is UL certifiication of the cables to 240v
- if there was a fire would the insurance company pay out?
- maybe not
Personally - I would not recommend this approach
