In Reply to: Hardwired aka captive power cord... posted by Duster on April 17, 2015 at 16:38:04:
removing the IEC connectors, male and female, in favor of hard-wiring the power cord directly to the primaries of the power transformer (whilst also retaining the protection of the fuse and power switch) is the only thing I would do and Do do. (Not doodoo, which is another problem.) No connector is always better than any connector, is my motto.
IMO, it's borderline nuts to hard wire the other end of the power cord to the wall socket. I don't see how it can be done "safely" (as defined in real Safety Codes that contractors and electricians must abide by). And furthermore, it's VERY inconvenient.
