Came home last night to find half my power outlet strip burnt black due to salt creep/wetness on one of my lighting power cords. I pulled the power cord out and found it burnt crisp, with a wet, slimey residue. Luckily, the other equipment were not effected by this burnout, and there are no signs of a fire aside from the one outlet on the strip. After pulling all the power cords out of the power strip, I found a couple had salt on or around the metalic prongs or were a bit wet.
I guess my question is: are there any techniques to help prevent the salt and water from moving down the power cords, aside from routine checks and cleanings?
