  1. I want to know if the outlet is supplying power to whatever is on the other end of the conduit, or is the conduit supplying power to the outlet?

  2. Not an electrician but working with it all my life, including some house and industrial wiring.

    Yeah, first glance it looks like hillbilly engineering.

    But, if it was hardwired, it becomes an electrtical installation and may need to be done by a licensed electrician (depending on jurisdiction). I am not a licensed electrician and where I live I can’t legally hardwire anything. I can legally run an extension cord.

    I don’t see what it is connected to on the other end but if to a duplex receptacle of the like, this, because it is plugged, not wired, is an extension cord. Anyone can make and run an extension cord and the NEC doesn’t have much to say about it.

    I’d like to hear what section of NEC this violates. Again, assuming a duplex or the like on the other end.
