Even though the cord is short, it still contributes to the overall inductance. ROMEX has up to 10 times the inductance of good after market power cords. If the the last 6 feet of a 20 foot run to the panel is an after-market cord, it will add very little to the inductance of the first 14 feet.
Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall?
Could somebody please help me to shed light on this?
Is there any reason I should invest in expensive power cables when there's low grade cable between my outlet and the wall? I've upgraded most other components in my systems, but I'm just not sure that spending several hundred dollars for power cables makes sense, when the cable running from my outlet to the wall costs less than $.10 per foot. Can anyone shed light on this?
Thanks!
