In Reply to: Using balanced power on equipment expecting unbalanced can be bad news. posted by Ted Smith on September 23, 2007 at 18:52:50:

120v is 120v. That is what equipment "expects". If equipment thinks, it would not know the difference between 120v balanced or 120v unbalanced. Thus, it would not be "bad news" either way.
The only problem would be if the equipment had its neutral input tied to ground. This would be either a design fault, or a really old piece of equipment. This is easily tested for.
It would be bad news if you didn't use a GFCI on the output of the balanced supply as required by code.
