Be especially careful with moving, rotating and time related appliances like clocks, shavers and electric fan heaters. To be sure, check the label on the appliance. Some appliances never need a converter. Would you like to add information to this page? Please send us your suggestions or remarks. Read our disclaimer.

Later on in the eBook we will discuss how to combat this problem, so you can best avoid damaging your electronics. There are two main types of appliances and chargers available in the electronic world: those that use single-voltage and those that can accommodate dual-voltage. Single-voltage devices have a small voltage range such as —V. Some examples of single voltage appliances are older hair dryers and irons. There should be a tag, compliance plate or stamp on the appliance letting you know the voltage compatibility see example shown above.
They are a fire hazard, and at best will break on your trip. Some examples of dual-voltage devices include newer hair dryers, electric shavers, toothbrushes, irons, laptops, Kindles as shown in the image , tablets, smartphones, cell phones, MP3 players, cameras and battery chargers. No transformer or converter is required to use these items in India—you just need the Hero Travel Supply Power Adapter that you have already wisely purchased.
If you want a report for other countries, re-start the wizard to find to electric adapters for your trip here. If you are electrical savvy, perhaps the previous chart is all you need.
If this is not the case, you can continue reading and discover what the chart is saying! Your electric devices from India will be expecting Volts, but United States of America grid is of Volts, this is a substantial difference that requires you to take some extra steps in preparation to your trip:.
On the positive side , nowadays many devices will switch automatically to the network voltage and they will work just fine, i. It is important that you pay attention to your device's voltage. Connecting electronics to the wrong voltage, in the luckiest of the cases, the device will break or stop working temporarily; but please don't take this lightly , in the worst of the cases electrocution and fire hazards are a real possibility. An automatic power supply suitable from Volts to Volts.
High-power devices don't usually handle different voltages due to the high-currents involved i. On the contrary, modern low-power devices are likely to auto-detect and auto-adapt to different voltages i. A hair-dryer can consume up to Watts, like the one in the picture above, due to the high power they usually work in one voltage system; this one is suitable for Volts systems. You will need a step up voltage converter a device that can be plugged to volts and it provides an outlet with volts for your India' device.
