For example if you have an european style one phase per room wiring, if you have a power failure on one phase, you could in theory use that cable to power the disabled part of your house.
Don’t ever fucking do it tho. This is an incredibly, incomprehensibly retarded thing to do, and might kill someone, including repairman working to restore your power
Honestly, I’ve passed the last 2 or 3 minutes trying to make some use form them up. I’ve come empty-handed.

Oh fuck. They can.
Will they burn before the wall wiring? Who knows?!?
Will you forget to shut the breaker down before plugging? YES! How is that even a question?
Just don’t forget to disconnect the breakers. This is AC, not DC. Additionally to voltage, you’d also need to perfectly match frequency and phase.

Damn, it requires a unique combination of creativity and an ape IQ to come up with this.
