power cable length importance

That electric travels about 3100 mile per 1000 ms. Just think how many trips it made through the power utility power transformer, the neighbors wiring, and appliances, who knows what else, in about 1000ms. Hmmm...

Mjordanas, there is really no first or last in an AC loop. It's all part of the loop, and needed to complete the continuous AC cycle that cycles back and forth. A break anywhere in it kills the power. Pangea has decent prices on their cords. This place advertises here at times.[http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PGAC14&variation=2]

The power for a typical residential house starts at the utility power transformer, that is after all a split phase isolation transformer. Or as some call balanced power....

If your speaking to me, read my post again. Perhaps your confused.

Jea48, we do have ties to the actual grid. Even our cable company complained about the power from the substation feeding my neighborhood. The transformers don't give total isolation. A slight phase shift at the generators do reflect it at the home. But, getting back to the cable issue, the utility is putting some capacitor banks on the primary somewhere(at least the engineer from the cable told me this), and they (utility engineers) think that there may be welders somewhere that may be fed by one of the static lines and generators. It could be even 40-80 miles away. I saw some strange tape wrapped around the insulators (in two substations) fed from the static lines to see if the arcing on them will decrease, and decrease the customers noise. My system is still sounding great though. Good power supplies I imagine.
