When traveling to another country, you’ll need to know what type of voltage converters, or voltage transformers, and plug adapters to take for your electrical products. Items such as hair dryers, electric shavers, irons, coffee makers, TV, VCR, or DVD players all require power to operate. Unfortunately, the power voltage available is not always what’s needed. In this case, you’ll need either an 110v to 220v voltage converter or a 220v to 110v converter.
Let’s take a look at the various types of converters and adapters available today.
Type of Voltage Converters
There are two main types of voltage converters – step up or step down. Step up converters will convert the power to a higher voltage than what is shown on the appliance. For instance, an electric shaver made in the U.S. works with the standard 110 volt outlet. With a step up converter, it can be used with a 220 volt outlet in another country. Step down converters do just the opposite.
Wattage and Voltage Converters
Wattage typically determines what type of voltage converter you will need in terms of power. For smaller electronics such as electric shavers...
