power cords with active shielding


Has anyone tried any power cords with active shielding?  I would appreciate any comparisons or opinions towards power cords with active shielding.

Regarding induced current in the “neutral” conductor, one reason to use balanced power is that both the “hot” and neutral conductors are energized, each at 60 volts, but 180 degrees out of phase with each other. This not only avoids the induced current problem but, as with balanced circuitry, causes powerline harmonics to cancel each other out.
