How To Use Travel Adapters!

[@vanessamartinez508]

I'm traveling to Europe soon so really helpful tips. Thank you!

[@cryoK]

Thanks, i literally didn't know how to use the adapters i bought...

[@cycleryder8934]

Thank you! Going to Italy in a few days and was so confused about how adapters work until I watched your video.

[@elainejenkins4159]

Thank you . Looked all over for an explanation of adaptor and converter.

[@DreamsofmyDreams]

Traveling to the UK in July and this was really helpful! Thank you for the video!

[@thenerdykrisz]

I have those exact same white adapters. They work great and weigh next to nothing. Had them for years.

[@AllyArcher]

aren't they great? I am using mine right now in Europe - had mine for years as well!

Hi from Finland. 220 V is very very rare today in Europe. Usually the voltage is 230-240 V. But it does’t matter so much. When using those travel adapters, please be careful not to touch the pins as they are not safety insulated. But otherwise fine information. Hint: Hang some curtains or blankets to the walls to minimaze the echo. It makes you more pro.

[@daisycardoso3998]

mattikaki hi any recommendations for a good adapter for 220 volts straightener.

[@vaisakhps8642]

have you visited India yet?

[@Kunal_too]

Nice information

[@Emarlier96]

You are an absolute magical angel God sent. I was like "I'm off to Europe I should figure out how to not get electrocuted and die

[@VelvetCondoms]

You have shoddy adapters. Types I and G are supposed to have insulated pins and I don't see a replaceable fuse anywhere on that type G.

[@AllyArcher]

Nate Watson I’ve used these adapters many times over the past several years with no issues. If you have suggestion for a better adapter please feel free to leave a link in the comments for people to compare.

Hi! Have you actually used the dual voltage flat iron in the UK to see if it still will short it out or if it works good? i might have missed it if you mentioned it sorry

[@AllyArcher]

My flat iron's voltage is has a range of 120-240 Volts and it has worked everywhere I've used it in that range! I went to the UK years ago and had a different flat iron but it was fine. I've used the flat iron in the video with the same UK adapter in Hong Kong and Singapore and it worked :) (HK and Singapore use the same plug shape as the UK) hope that helps!

[@dearbelovedcheryl]

yes. We are going to Ireland in October so i will get a UK adapter and with a dual voltage iron, so i feel kinda confident i won't blow it up or short out the hotel ! lol thank you!

[@jogullekson1173]

Good Day!! I know this video has been out for a few years but, I need to know if my curling iron will work in India. I know they have 220 volt but still don't know if the same curling iron that I used in China will work in India. When plugging my hair curler in while in China, it did not get hot enough to work. It at least took the frizz out of my hair but no curl. Any advice??

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

Hair curler from India (230V 50Hz, Type D plug) works in China (220V 50Hz, US/ Euro 4.8mm universal 2 pin outlet and 3 Pin Australian outlet). Also buy Europlug / US to Europlug adapter for that.

[@mr.starks]

Thank you for the info!

[@AllyArcher]

Mr. Starks you’re welcome!

[@ecua60videos]

It looks like Italy requires a different kind of adapter with three legs, is that true?

[@AllyArcher]

Manuel Penaloza Italy’s power socket is either two or three round holes - The adapters I use for Italy have the two round legs

[@okaro6595]

Modern equipment comes in two types: class I or grounded and class II or double insulated. A grounded plug has three contacts: live, neutral and ground. Ground is connected to the case. It is so that if the equipment fails the current flows to the ground possibly tipping the circuit breaker and not through the user. Class II equipment is designed so that the case cannot become hot. There is double insulation. This typically means that the case is plastic. They do not need grounding so the plug typically has just two legs. Britain is an exception as there the third leg is needed to open the socket. Most equipment one carries while traveling is class II. Laptop chargers (in some cases) are almost the only exception. They, however, are typically plastic so the grounding is really unnecessary. The actual laptop runs on low voltage. However, as a general rule you should not break the ground as that can cause danger. If you only have ungrounded sockets you can use grounded equipment without grounding. This is not ideal but acceptable. You may not bring the ground with an extension cord from the kitchen. There also used to be class 0 i.e. not protected. These should not be used on any room that has grounded outlets. Preferably they should not be used at all.

Thank you so much

jaysolo you’re welcome!

Never buy ones that says For Export Only ones. The ground or earth is always defeated.

[@AllyArcher]

Preston Lo can you please explain what that means?

[@AnthonyJLopez]
