You can use a power strip in China if the accumulated items plugged into it don't exceed the amperage of the circuit breaker (or fuse). And there's no way for me to know what the circuit amperage at your hotel might be. Generally speaking, 100 Watts=1 Amp. So, if you plug in a bunch of low amperage items (curling iron, camera battery charger, laptop, cell phone, etc) you'll probably be fine. But something like a hair dryer (1875 Watts) will trip a 15 Amp circuit by itself. Hope this helped.

Charging devices from your computers is a VERY GOOD strategy since electrical outlets are hard to come by in China. You'll be able to charge multiple devices from a single plug in.

Most modern consumer devices have switching power supplies. You correctly point out that these will take any input power from 100 to 24- VAC. The output is also listed on the charger. The charger steps down the incoming power to the 4 or 5 volts DC that your device (cell phones, iPads, Nooks, etc) requires. For laptops the output is higher, my Dell charger puts out 19.5 VDC. Since the output power is DC, the input cycles (50 or 60 Hz) make no difference at all to your charger. When I was in Europe or Asia in the early 1990s, switching power supplies were not available, although a few chargers had multiple internal transformers that could be manually switched. You still see these on some devices. 25 years ago, you needed a big clunky transformer to use your electrical devices. Thankfully those times are behind us, but be certain to follow the advice in this video and check first, before you leave.

Hi Jingbo! You're right, I've only been to China twice and don't consider myself a complete authority on China outlets. That said however, on both of my trips I didn't see many of the outlets that had what I call the "American option" receptacle (the outlet at 7:03). Now there are occasionally outlets in the bathroom that they call "razor" outlets, perhaps you're referring to those. I didn't look those over closely and don't recommend that people use them for 2 reasons: 1) with limited bathroom counter space you're asking for trouble plugging in large electrical devices (laptops, 35mm cameras, etc) next to the sink and running water. If the device goes into the water it will be ruined, and 2) those devices next to water pose an electrical safety risk to people particularly since I don't know how well those circuits are protected (fuses? breakers?). In the States those outlets would have a GFCI for extra protection and I didn't see those. I still think buying and bringing an affordable outlet adapter (or two or three) and charging devices in the room (rather than bathroom) is extremely wise. Thanks for your comment and compliment!

Hi Ronny, If you're asking if one can plug a European plug into the this adapter and then plug the adapter into the wall outlet in China successfully the answer, unfortunately, is no. If your asking if one can plug a US configured AC plug into this adapter and then plug the adapter into a European wall outlet, the answer is yes. But as with all my answers, don't forget, you've got to be sure your appliance has a built in converter (see this video), or use an external converter.

Hi Sandy! I've never been to that area of China, it should be wonderful. The other thing you should do is obtain a prophylactic course of antibiotic to get you started. This antibiotic regimen will cover you until you establish a primary care physician in China. There's every chance that you will get sick at some point during your time in China. DON"T let this worry you! You're going to be fine! China is well worth a little bit of illness. I've commented about this before and will copy below. You're embarking on a life changing adventure!: "ALSO, and this has never come up here but, all travelers to China should bring with them a prophylactic course of antibiotics. We brought Cipro, a good general antibiotic. On one trip to China my wife got sick and used my Cipro and we were VERY glad we had it. Our friends have used the medical system in China and we are told that it's very good. But, having Cipro on hand can calm the mind. Ask your doctor for a just-in-case course of antibiotics for your trip."

@ConnersTim10 жыл бұрын
Hi Airbjorn, You ask an excellent question. I'm assuming you are in the US and bought a computer that runs primarily on 110V. First, remember that all of our original parameters from the video apply. In other words, we've got to make sure that the power supply on the desktop can handle 220V, and if it can't, the china voltage needs to be stepped down using another device (converter). That said, here's a few ideas 1) look on the back of your desktop where the female receptacle for the power plug is. Near that receptacle you might see a switch that goes back and forth between 110V and 220V. If that's the case, just switch it over to 220V once you get to China, 2) Go online and look for the computer's manual. See if it has any specific info regarding the power supply, 3) If the desktop has a power supply in the AC line (the big black box in power cord) just use the same method from the video (look for the INPUT voltage parameters). I have only had laptops for many years now so I don't recall if thedesktop power supplys are generally built into their own board or if some manufacturers put it in the cord. If none of that works, get back to me and we'll go from there.

+Ecofolux2427 Hi Ecofolux, This is going to be hard to explain, but I'll give it a try. First, I filmed this video for TOURISTS who would only be in China for a short time. Therefore, they could leave behind non-complying electrical devices with only an insignificant, short term loss of enjoyment of the item. Your case is different, you are MOVING to China. IMHO, anyone moving to China should absolutely find a way to bring all the electrical devices that increase their quality of life -- such as your Super Nintendo. That said, I don't keep up with converters at all. What you need is two things: 1) stepped down voltage, and 2) convert the 50Hz frequency in China to 60Hz. Don't worry about the wattage (how much electricity the SN draws). Hopefully it won't draw enough to burn the circuit fuse or flip the breaker in Beijing. But before we consider converters let's do one thing. Look on the back of your Super Nintendo, look closely for a small switch (usually red inlaid) that says 220V on one side and 110V or 120V on the other. This thing may be as small as a quarter inch and require a pin or something to switch the toggle. If you find that you're half way there. If you find the toggle then you will need to make sure that it also switches the frequency from 60Hz to 50Hz. How you would do that I don't know. Maybe go through the manual. If you don't find the toggle switch, then you will definitely need a converter. MAKE SURE it does the 2 things I mentioned above: steps down the Voltage, and switches the frequency from 50Hz to 60Hz. Hope this helps.

@ConnersTim9 жыл бұрын
+Casey White Excellent point Casey. I ignored Frequency in the video since China operates at 50Hz ( see goo.gl/8ZmydM ) and this video is labeled as a Guide for U.S. Tourists. So it seemed safe that U.S. tourists going to China would be bringing consumer electronics purchased for the U.S. market, so those items would be in the correct Hz Frequency range. As you point out, every item I used as an example was rated in the 50Hz - 60Hz frequency range except the Hair Dryer, and I pointed out that the Hair Dryer will burn up if exposed to consumer electricity in China (For those reading this other than Casey: the Hair Dryer will burn up because it doesn't have a built in converter AND because it's rated at a frequency of ONLY 60Hz, as opposed to the frequency range of 50Hz - 60Hz of the other devices, and China operates at a frequency of 50Hz). I can't think of any reason I need to change the video or include a caveat in text. What do you think? I'm interested in your opinion on this.

WARNING. That travel adapter is VERY DANGEROUS. It can be lethal if more than one plug type are exposed. Please DO NOT USE. I am Certified Electrical Engineer so I am dead serious.

That adapter is very dangerous, do not use it. It can kill you. There are several videos on it on KZbin.
