Traveling outside of USA, Looking for Voltage Converter/Transformer?

Dec. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Voltage Converter & Transformer Buying Guide - Buy Voltage Converter/Transformers

Countries have different voltage systems, and by supplying incorrect amounts of power these can damage personal electronic devices. Travelers can safely use personal electronics/appliances devices abroad and use them on-site using our power adapters or voltage converters/transformers that bridge the existing power supply with the device's electrical needs.

European electricity voltage is 220 volts, rather than the 110 volts used in the United States. This means that your electronics or appliances will not work unless you convert the voltage. You will need power converters that we sell. The converters will provide sufficient power for 110 volts devices. Some of the modern mobile phones, laptops computers and cameras might be equipped to handle both US and European power. Check the label on your adapter. If it says "110-240 V," then you only need a plug adapter rather than a power converter.

Voltage in America

In the USA electricity is normally supplied at 110 or 120 volts at a frequency of 60 Hz.

Voltage in Europe

The European electricity is generally at 220 volts and a frequency of 50 Hz. This is standard voltage throughout France, Italy, Germany, England, Spain, and the rest of Europe.

To use electrical electronics or appliances in Europe, Voltage Converter is needed in order to plug in without electrocuting your machine, and maybe yourself.
