The manager told him to sell him 'any cable from 'the box'. 'So let me get this straight, you want to *buy* a power cable?' Anyone with any amount of technology likely has a bunch of cables laying around. The guy that talked to him was rather shocked. Working at a computer dealer, a guy comes in looking to 'buy a power cord'. I have saved a bunch from dead Apple equipment, and they really come in handy since they have been cheating people out of them. ESPECIALLY while energized! And, yes, get the extension cable. But NEVER mess around in your mains circuit box. Yes, house electricity has a disturbing level of art in it, so it seems. (She had numerous sub panels, and still had screw in fuses!) Some of her wiring couldn't be replaced easily due to partial slab construction, and an attic that was just a hideous elevated crawl space, but I eventually got her house rewired and replumbed. An APC power filter unit stopped the computer deaths, and some rewiring of specific outlets in the kitchen saved appliances too. She went through several kitchen appliances, and computers. My mom's house was build back in the, well WAY BACK, and it had some aluminum wiring, and also most outlets were just 2-wire, no ground. There is such a thing as a 'floating ground', and that is really bad too. Sub panels are not required, or recommended, to be 'bonded'. I'm not a trained electrician, but have worked with enough of them over the years.
