I couldn't verify if this message made it to the group, so I am reposting.
Still curious about the question at the top if anyone would care to comment.
Thanks! Bill

A few months ago, the idea of a "quad in a box" go-anywhere power source
was brought up.

:: sheepishly I am asking::

Is it fine to power this by plugging it into a wall outlet???



Trying to answer the question myself, I'm pretty sure it's not even ok to
be able to step
on nm cable, so, at the very minimum, more durable insulation is required.


Swingman offered me a good piece of advice, which is never to do anything
(electrical) that
you don't feel confident about (and I'm following that).

I've learned even more since he mentioned that--learning to appreciate for
instance the importance
of being very careful not to even nick any of the conducting wires (which
might result in a short for instance),
and in installing a panel with a level. Attention to detail.
