I have a general question, I hope someone here knows the history on it.
Is there is a length restriction on power cords for instruments? I am not referring to extension cords. But either hard connected cord, or the the removeable C13/C14 style cords? If so, what is it, and why is it? Discounting the EMC issues, what, if any, is the safety issue with a long power cord? Which standards spell out this length? What testing or rationale supports this?
