Question
First there are hundreds of miles of power company wiring before the hundreds if not thousands of feet of plain old romex 14-2 wiring in most peoples houses.
On a typical 50-100' run supplying 15amps to a room with 4 or 5 outlets, the source of power is cut and rejoined with wire nuts at least 4 times before getting to the final outlet. Prior to entering the room the power cord may have been split and joined supplying another 3 or 4 sockets adding another 50' to the run plus the run may start from the panel in the basement, adding another 50'-100' to the run.
The wall outlet carrying the power is usually a simple cheap plug and the same simplicity is present in the panel.
How can 6 feet of flexible cable (not cables with inbuilt filters or other esoterica) counteract the miles of power company's wiring, plus hundreds of feet in your house?
