Use of adapter to convert 15amp P/C to 20 amp IEC

Want to be able to use a regular 15 amp power cord to connect to a power line conditioner that has a 20 amp IEC inlet. VooDoo makes an adapter that allows for this. Are there any problems with this adaptation?

This unit has a 20 amp input IEC. I believe that all of these cords should be able to handle the power the 3.5 needs. It's rated at 2,400va. I quess as long as the cords have a 20 amp capacity I should be okay?

I am using a 20 amp wall outlet. So a guess I have to investigate to confirm each power cord I would like to try has a 20 amp rating to be able to handle max. load the 3.5 can deliver, even though they have the regular IEC connections? My max load at the moment is around 1,300-1,400va. Byron
