I believe that needless and silly but very real problem is negated if
he used an isolation device of some sort to feed the wires and does
not make them a branch of the electrical wiring of the house.
NEC does not apply to devices or wiring that plugs in to an
approved outlet, such as power supplies or other equipment.
I know from personal experience in an inspection there was nothing
said about my station and bench wiring, nor wiring that supplied
voltages outdoors, because the stuff "plugged in". I was warned by
the inspector to never permanently connect it to the primary wiring,
or it would not pass. Their concern is up to the outlet, not beyond.
