Electric adaptors for Oz, are they the same as the USA? |
Travel Info Electric adaptors for Oz, are they the same as the USA? Travel Tips nope. you will need an adapter. you also need to see the voltage your appliance runs on, as it can vary between countries. for that you could need a converter or transformer. One of the university visitor information mentions this " Our local power supply is 240 volts at 50 Hz, and uses a 3 pin plug connection. Many appliances have 110/240V switches, however it is advisable that overseas visitors bring their own plug adaptors." these links are good, with pictures. http://www.travelproducts.com/store/elec... http://www.travelproducts.com/store/elec... Others You can buy the converter & adapters at Ace Hardware. Also, I noticed that a lot of the convenience stores in Australia carried the converters/adapters. No they are not the same, their plugs and outlets are designed differently than here in the USA. My son and I brought some of our American electronics with us to Australia. You need a voltage regulator, since their volts are different than ours as well... and you will blow your system. Here are some ideas for you.. Let me make one thing clear.. You cannot go to a convienence shop to get one!! Go to any electronics store and ask for a voltage regulator, I got mine for 99AUD and was in Australia for 20 months, we only changed the fuse once. http://www.eastwestintl.com/showprod.asp... |
