"Just for your information a 60>0<60 Ac balanced hard wired system in a residential dwelling is a violation of NEC code here in the US."
Everyone should be aware that the key words here are "residential" and "hard wired".
Yes, it is an NEC violation to hard wire a balanced power transformer into a residential power grid. However, using a seperate balanced power conditioner that plugs into an AC receptacle, and the balanced power outlets are contained in the unit, is not an NEC violation.
NEC jurasdiction stops at the wall outlet and even though there is nothing in the NEC code that directly addresses a balanced power conditioners use in a residential dwelling, they fall under the "self contained" category.
