Thank you for your support with the CR travel adapter! I purchased a teakettle from amazon made in China it has a eu plug and v and watts. What can I use for converter and adapter in one plug help. Hi Barbara, thank you for reaching out. I am afraid that we do not have any recommendations to share for a converter to work in the US.
Have several electronic devices to charge on my trip, some dual voltage, some not. Hi Frederique, thank you for reaching out. You would need to be careful with your converter as they can be potentially damaging to your electronics. Sorry I could not have been of more help. Hi Michele, your iPhone should be dual voltage so would only need a travel adapter to work in France. Newer iPhones have dual voltage that automatically adjust in their destination.
Have an awesome trip to France! Hi Rachel, it would depend if the device you are charging is dual voltage or not. If it is not dual voltage then you would need a converter to change the electrical current from V to V. Apple phones are dual voltage which is why you do not need to use a converter along with the travel adapter.
I bought a small hot plate from China for use at our temple here in the USA. So do I need both an adapter for the plug and a converter for the voltage? If your electronics are not dual voltage, has two options: V and V, an international power converter also called a transformer, voltage adapter, or international voltage converter could be used. Hope this helps! So in this technological age, there is not a combined device that serves as both an adapter and converter? Hi Holly, thank you for your question.
Hi Evelyn, thank you for your comment. I was just checking so I can give you the correct response to your question, where will what be stated? Hi Mark, it depends on the electronics. Hope this answers your question! Is this just an adapter and I need a converter for my phone? Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Voltage Converter vs.
Travel Adapter: How do They Work? Travel Adapter Table Of Contents. Doug on June 19, at am. Thanks Reply. LTZ on October 8, at pm. Voltage converter ratings are generally within a voltage range. Appliances rated for volts or volts can usually operate from anywhere between volts and volts. Likewise, volt or volt appliances can usually operate from anywhere between volts and volts.
Therefore, any quality Step-Down voltage converter will allow any volt appliance to operate in volt, volt or even volt countries.
This is also true with a quality Step-Up voltage converter, which will allow any volt appliance to be used in any volt or volt countries. There are quite a few different outlet and plug styles that often vary from country to country, and they will only accept electronics and appliances with a native plug. Adapter plugs are also sometimes needed for voltage converters depending on the plug type it has, and depending whether or not it came with any adapters. Products that are dual voltage, or worldwide voltage can operate on either volts or volts.
These products do not require a voltage converter but still require a plug adapter to be used overseas. If you travel overseas frequently or travel to various countries, your best bet would be to purchase a foreign plug adapter set , offering various adapters for all outlet types.

How do I figure out how many watts voltage transformer do i need? Will my appliances from overseas work in U. What kind of converter do I need for a TV or Monitor? Can I connect an American Volt dryer to a Transformer? What is the difference between a voltage converter and a voltage regulator? Do voltage converters convert the cycle Hz?
How do I choose the right transformer? How to calculate the Wattage of an appliance? What is the Difference between Servo and Relay type voltage regulators? To determine the right voltage converter for your appliance, first find out the voltage or Volt AC and wattage rating watts or amps information on the back or bottom of the appliance or from instruction book of an appliance. These type of transformers are grounded and with build-in fuses, which provides safety against electrical shock and damage.
Transformers can also be used with electric appliances and may be operated continually for many days. The advantage of converters, however, is that they are lighter and less expensive. Computers are electronic devices and therefore they must be used with a transformer, unless they are dual voltage. Fortunately, nowadays all laptop, tablet and phone chargers are dual voltage, so they can be used with only a travel adapter.
Transformers are sold in various sizes based on how much wattage they can support. Therefore you must pay careful attention to the wattage ratings of the appliances to be plugged into a transformer. In some cases, the voltage and amperage will be listed, but not the wattage. If this is the case, simply multiply the voltage by the amperage rating to find the wattage rating e. Below is a list that gives an idea what the wattage of common appliances is.
Use this as a guide only. Always check your appliance first! Transformers and converters only convert the voltage, not the frequency. The difference in cycles may cause the motor in a 50 Hz appliance to operate slightly faster when used on 60 Hz electricity.
This cycle difference will cause electric clocks and timing circuits to keep incorrect time: European alarm clocks will run faster on 60 Hz electricity and American clocks will lose some 10 minutes every hour when used in Europe. However, most modern electronic equipment like phone chargers, laptops, printers, etc.
