A:AnswerNo, it's basically a short extension cord. It's main benefit is that it has a flat profile when plugged into an outlet. Unlike typically plugs, it doesn't protrude straight out, so it can be used behind furniture.
A:AnswerI have been using it with my new microwave for 3 months. So far nothing has happened. It never occurred to me that it might be an issue. This sort of thing is what the product was designed for, not just plugging in a table lamp.
