EU has a 2 wire system, no dedicated 3rd wire neutral and 120V is not used,
even in homes.

Hello Peter: Could you elaborate on this a bit? I assume the difference is
how the neutral is used or not used. Is that correct?
In the US the typical wiring is two 120 "hot" wires, a neutral and an
earth
ground. In the proposed power supply, the neutral would not be used at
all.
Just the two 120 hots and the cabinet would be earth grounded.
Thank you,
