Voltage Converters and Transformers

ABOUT VOLTAGE CONVERTERS Converters change the voltage of the electricity coming out of the wall outlet to be compatible with your appliances. Going In Style has both converters for both Americans traveling to Europe and Europeans traveling to America.  It is important to remember that converters are only designed for short-term use (20 – 25 minutes) - prolonged use will cause the converter to automatically shut down after time – but without damage to either your converter or your appliance.

Do I need a Voltage Converter? In most cases, Yes.  Appliances in the United States typically use anywhere between 110 and 130 volts of alternating current (AC). A majority of the world’s countries, however, use 220 – 240 volts. If your appliance can only run on 110 – 130 volts, you will need to use a converter. If, however, your appliance is dual voltage you will not need to use a converter. Dual voltage appliances require only a plug adapter and can then be plugged directly into any foreign outlet.  Additionally, the country to which you are traveling may not use a different voltage than the United States.  For example, Canada and Mexico both use 120V which is the same as us.  If your destination country does not use a different voltage, you will not need a converter nor a transformer.

How do I tell if my appliance is dual voltage? All appliances have an electrical specification sticker located somewhere on the item. It may be on the handle, power cord, or on the reverse side of the appliance. Locate this label and look for the following: 120/240 VAC or 120 – 240 VAC The numbers may be slightly different, but if you see this designation with a 200 number in it, then your appliance is dual voltage ( anywhere from 220-260 volts is okay).  However, if the 200 number is missing, your appliance is not dual voltage. It is more and more common for appliances to be dual voltage.  If your appliances are relatively new, this is probably the case…. But check that electrical spec sticker just to make sure.  Note to Mac users: All Apple products are dual voltage, including computers, iPods, etc. You do not need a converter to run these appliances; however, you will need an adapter plug.

OK, so I need a converter.  Which one do I use? The type of converter you use is dictated by the wattage of the appliances you are planning to use. Remember that spec sticker? Check it again, and this time look for a number followed by a “W” for Watts – for example “35W.”  ( Note: If it has a number with an A next to it, then take that number times 120 to get the total Watts.  0.5A means 0.5 x 120 = 60 Watts).     Most chargers, such as for cameras and cell phones, are low-wattage appliances. Small electronics are also low wattage.  A 50W converter should be sufficient for these devices, but always be sure to double-check your appliance. If your device draws more than 50W, you cannot use this converter. Most higher powered appliances, especially hair dryers, coffee makers, and other heating appliances often draw between 900W and 1600W, and they may go as high as 2000W. For all appliances rated 51W – 1600W use a 1600W converter. For appliances above 1600W use a 2000W converter.

About Dual Voltage

About Dual Voltage Appliances: 

Every country in the world runs on a unique electrical output.  Because of this appliances may not operate correctly when traveling to foreign countries.

When traveling with appliances it is important to know whether your appliance is dual voltage.  If it is not dual voltage you will need either a converter or a transformer when traveling.

This video will show you how to check to make sure your appliance is dual voltage.  

Typically cell phones, cameras, tablets and laptops are dual voltage and do not need a converter.

Usually hair dryers, curling irons, battery chargers, hair straighteners, electronic razors and electronic toothbrushes not dual voltage.  These appliances will need either a converter or a transformer.  It is important to check the label for each of your appliances that you will be traveling with.

The United States runs on about 120 volts electricity while many other countries run on 220 volts electricity or higher.  Without a converter or transformer you can burn out your appliance.

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." -Dolly Parton

Ireland is a beautiful and green destination that sees plenty of rain and wind.  If you plan to visit Ireland remember to pack your rain gear, ponchos and an umbrella.  The summer months in Ireland receive the least amount of rainfall so it is the busiest tourist season, but there is always a chance of showers.

[goinginstyle-blog]

When traveling to Tokyo, Japan don't forget your umbrella.  Tokyo receives rainfall all year long with an average of 60 inches of precipitation per year.  The rainiest months are March through October, so even if you are traveling in the summer there is still a chance of rain and Tokyo is known for its summer typhoons.
