Hardwire your amps to the panel.


Excuse the relative simple question but with all the money we pour into power cables, and with good results, why not hardwire everything right to the fuse/breaker board? Any issues with this other than permanence, cost, and warranty voidance?

It a code violation to have a device (amps) without disconnecting means. You can if the circuit breaker is within line of site. Breakers can be use for disconnecting means. My guess is the electrical panel is not in the room.

This type of connection also voids the listing of the device. If the amps catch on fire due to an electrical problem your insurance company does not have to pay up because of the code violation and voided listing.

I do not use after market power cords. I use Carol Cable which is designed for extension cords. ItÂ’s UL listed and can gotten at the big box stores along with listed connectors.
