Physical fit
A plug adapter changes the connection shape. It does not change voltage or frequency.
TRAVEL ELECTRICAL CHECK
Enter the rating printed on your device—not what kind of device it is. We compare voltage, frequency, and plug shape separately.
CAN I USE IT?
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
A plug adapter changes the connection shape. It does not change voltage or frequency.
Your device’s complete input range must cover the local nominal supply. A mismatch can damage equipment or create a hazard.
50 Hz and 60 Hz are not interchangeable for every device. A transformer does not normally change frequency.
It means the manufacturer rated that device or power supply for inputs from 100 through 240 volts and for both common mains frequencies. You may still need a plug adapter.
If voltage does not match, an appropriate converter or transformer would have to supply the voltage your device requires and handle its actual power. Heating appliances, motors, timing-sensitive and electronically controlled equipment need particular care. This checker does not recommend converter capacity.
SOURCES / METHODOLOGY
Country supply records are compiled from the World Standards country table, which references IEC World Plugs conventions. Plug/socket systems standardized by national standards are catalogued in IEC/TR 60083. Adapter and dual-voltage explanations are cross-checked against Electrical Safety First guidance.
For destinations with multiple published voltages or frequencies, a safe verdict requires the device to cover every listed value. Socket letters are compared exactly; listed socket types are not assumed to accept one another.
Limit: This tool compares the ratings you enter with published nominal supply information. It cannot inspect your device, adapter, outlet, grounding, wiring, or local installation. Check the manufacturer’s instructions and local requirements when uncertain.
