I wonder if "ring mains" (an extra wire from the last outlet to make
a loop back to the fusebox) are legal in the US. Seems like a nice way
to improve voltage regulation with a little extra wire, and if the ring
wire only breaks in one place, all the outlets keep working.
No, the are not legal in the US.
