The voltage supplied in electrical
outlets throughout the world varies according to countries. Countries
in North America, parts of central and South America, the Caribbean
and parts of pacific operates at 110V, while the rest of the world
operates at 220Volt. In general 110 volt includes voltage range of
100-125V and 220 volt includes 220-240 volt. Many of the countries
operate on both 110V-220V. This creates complication for travellers
who pack electronic devices and personal appliances. The key solution
is to pack Travel Voltage converter or transformer for every
electrical situation.
About Converter and Transformer

Converter or transformer?
Selection of converter and voltagetransformer is pretty easy. The label on your device will
determine which one is necessary. The input line contains all the
information:
Single Voltage: Items having
small voltage range, in-between 100-120 Volt, can accommodate small
voltage fluctuations. Single voltage electrical devices such as hair
dryer, iron can use both converter and transformer.
Dual Voltage: Dual voltage
devices use a slash to differ the 2 voltages. You might have come
across with latest hair dryers, toothbrushes, coffee makers, electric
shavers, and tea kettles functioning at 120V/240V. These devices do
not require converters or transformer to operate at any voltage.
Multi Voltage: Multi voltage
devices utilizes a dash for indicating the voltage range.
Transformers and converters are also not needed for these items. Some
common appliances working under 100-240Volt are smartphones, battery
charger, laptops, MP3 player, e-readers, camera, etc.
Transformer and converter are used to
protect your device from burning or short circuiting. You always need
it to power up devices overseas. Pack a plug adapter in Canada,
Brazil. Use a 220- to 240-volt transformer adapter when in all
European, Eastern European and African countries. Plug in a 100-volt
transformer adapter when traveling in Japan. Carry 220- to 240-volt
transformers in South America. Follow the instruction to figure out
what electronic accessories you will need to take on your trip.
If you're unsure about the compatibility of your devices or the electrical system of the country you're traveling to, it's best to consult with the device manufacturer or seek advice from a qualified electrician or travel specialist. They can provide specific recommendations based on your devices and travel destination to ensure safe and proper use of your electronics abroad.
