Most European residential electric systems operate at 240v, versus 120v in the US, which means you can only backfeed a US outlet with half the power you could in a European outlet. That alone makes this system half as useful for US applications.
Why is there always at least one European in these threads misunderstanding how North American power works?
Except he's probably American or Canadian. Look at his profile.
