Do you need a Voltage converter? PDF Print E-mail

Do you need a Voltage converter?
Voltage is a measure of electrical force and this too varies from region to region throughout the world and it will depend on what region your electrical devices come from and in what region you intend to use them.
If the voltage in your home country is roughly the same as the voltage in the country you will be travelling to, then you won’t need one. Many modern electrical devices however are built to be able to handle a range of different volts.

You should check the voltage capacity printed on in the manual of on even sometimes on the actual item of whatever you plan to plug into the power supply. If it says the effect of: ‘100-240V’ (and possibly 50/60 Hz) then you can use it anywhere in the world and all you may need is a power point adapter.
Most goods will take between 110-240 volts and may sometimes have a switch to switch between the two.
If you plug something that requires higher voltage to operate (an Australian 240 volt camera charger, for example) into a USA outlet (110 volts) you will find that it may take longer to charge. This generally shouldn’t damage whatever you plug into the wall. If this is the case all you will need it a power point adapter.
If you have an appliance from the USA or Canada though, for example, that is only able to take 120 volts and you plug it into a European, Australian or New Zealand outlet (putting out 220-240 volts) it may damage or ‘blow’ your appliance.
This often happens with hairdryers and straighteners. In this case you will need to buy a voltage converter to go along with your power point adapter.
Alternatively you can buy whatever appliance you need when you arrive in the country you are traveling .
