- This video shows How to convert a European plug to a UK plug, this is very easy to do and the convertor plugs only cost about £2
Converting a two-pin plug to three pin plug has never been easier. Remember if you cut off the two pin plug and wire it to a three pin plug you could invalidate the warranty (many manufacturers will try anything to get out of honouring the warranty).

Sure would be nice if we just standardized the plugs around the world, along with a lot of other things, but that makes too much sense ! Good Morning from Ct, U.S.A. !! Great video Sir.
Good morning!, That would be too simple ;-)
Thanks for the comment
It would mean standardizing the power-systems in all countries. Sounds expensive. Good idea, but will never happen.
@@KjartanAndersen Plug are not dependent on power systems. There actually is an international standard but it has been adopted only by South-Africa and Brazil and even the latter modified it. That is a large reason for the confusion. Each country sees necessary to modify the plugs for some reason.
First step is UK ditching stupid 32A ring final circuits.
This video has been filmed with my new 4K video camera, hence the new intro and outro. For the next few months there will be a mixture of 4K and HD videos being uploaded as I have a massive backlog of videos to edit on the computer.
I hope everyone has a great Sunday 😉
Are these fused?
The intro was great.
Yes, they are fused. There seems to be a lot of different types though- cpc.farnell.com/c/electrical-lighting/mains-plugs-adaptors/mains-converter-plugs

Ultimate Handyman thanks for the video, how about if one of the 2 plugs is broken?
Thanks for posting, came across these on a planer jointer I bought and have been looking to buy a few. 👍🏻
They have loads of different types at CPC- cpc.farnell.com/c/electrical-lighting/mains-plugs-adaptors/mains-converter-plugs

Hey top idea them plugs,👍👍👍, intro was great, and your sober today well done😂😂👍👍👍.
Yeah, I'm not nursing a hangover today ;-)
Thanks for the comment
Thanks, this vid Answered my question!
Glad to hear it!
Loving the new intro and outro 😁
Thanks ;-)
👍 Never seen this plug before but very handy - thanks for video
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment
Thanks for upload.
Just a note to people: these adaptors do no work with the two pins on shavers etc in U.K. which have larger pins with different spacing.
I'm not sure if you can get different plugs, as they seem to have a lot of different spec ones-

Thanks for the comment
Agreed, I bought one a few years back for my shaver (I don’t have a shaver socket in the bathroom) and the pins had a different spacing
Those shavers are good. If you need use only Ln plug just simple lite bend and push. Works perfectly for me over decade
gutted i never saw this sooner
great vid
Thanks for the comment 👍
thank you for this. i just purchased one from amazon!
You are welcome

Maybe do a video on wiring a 3 pin UK plug - there is a whole generation who have not done it.👏
I did that years ago, but filming it was difficult ;-)
Thanks for the comment
“Great Work, Well Done”

THANKS FOR SHARING NEVER SEEN ONE (MUST GET)
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment
I have a few Euro plug chargers, ended up getting a short Euro extension lead and putting a Uk plug on it to give me two of the correct style sockets for the Euro plugs.
Thanks for the comment
Those converter plugs have been around for decades, they were fitted to some Sony Hifi separates I bought in the early 90's , (& Still use), although I did change them to normal 3 pin plugs, after the warranty ran out.
That's correct, but a lot of people still don't know that they exist.
Thanks for the comment
Thank you for the info! This is a great idea! The link you posted no longer exists on Ebay. Can you please post a new link?
no interest in plugs but i enjoy watching ya videos anyway ! so i watched it lol ,does not hurt to learn new things
Thanks for the comments
Good advice. I actually live in NZ now so when I get devices from China with us plugs I just use a pair of pliers to 'coax' the pins into the correct orientation. Note this is usually only small DC adapters that auto convert to 220v. I wouldn't do it with a 110v item unless i was sure it would auto convert but I never see those. I do miss the genius of the UK standards though.
UK, three pin plugs are great, one of the best designs ever!
Thanks for the comment
I hope you are not serious. That would likely lead some contacts visible. Note no matter what the device the socket provides 230-240 V.
Amazing thank you boss man
Didn't even know these things existed. Great tip.
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment 👍
Not seen them converter plugs before, very good idea.
Thanks for the comment
Thanks, helpful video.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello, can I ask where you buy the converters from please and are they suitable for a kitchen appliance?
Just want to say thank you that helped ..
I'm glad the video helped
Thanks for the comment 👍
Can I buy an US adapter to change a overseas 2 pin on a LED sting light set I just purchased ! If so how and who can I order from ! Thanks
Hi we have a new Kenwood M819DAB hi fi system. The speakers just clip into the back of the main unit. On our old system we had all the speakers round our sitting room wired in to the one one unit, are we able to do this with our new system bearing in mind that the new speakers just clip in and are not wired in in the old way
Those adapters are OK if the appliance is low current (say less than 1 amp or so) but I wouldn’t trust one above that as the contact resistance can be very poor and the adapter could overheat and cause a fire. Not sure you’d be any better off warranty wise either, since if the manufacturer intended the device to be used in the UK they should (by law I believe) have supplied the appropriate power cord. On balance I would prefer to put a proper fused UK plug on the lead.
One other thing worth exploring is if the lead has a plug at the appliance end as well just replace the whole lead with one that has the correct plugs on both ends. They’re also very inexpensive and easy to come by (EBay, Amazon, etc.). I have half dozen or so of such leads with various combinations of plugs - very useful when travelling with a laptop for example, as you can avoid using foreign adapters which often don’t work well.
The one I bought came with either a 3Amp or 5Amp fuse installed.
Thanks for the comment
What is your documentation for the 1 A claim? These are rated for specific currents and fuses accordingly.
Hi, great video, I need several of these converters, does it not matter which way you insert the 2 pin plug? (Positive/Negative?) TIA
Hi there, are these converter plugs safe to use for full time use? I’m wanting to buy a beer pump for my boyfriend from Germany as I cannot get a hold of the UK version in time for his bday! I was going to rewire it with a UK plug but was concerned it might only be a brown and blue cable! Thank you! ☺️
Yes, absolutely - they are perfectly safe ;-)
Thanks for the comment 👍
is the live and earth same? ie/ is there a right way and a wrong way to connects them?
Hello. This tutorial can also be useful for other countries that use UK-style power outlets like Ireland, Cyprus, Malta, Hong Kong, Malaysia and etc.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Hello, thank you for this - I've ordered one! Is it safe to use it in an adaptor plug, if I don't overload it? Thanks
Yes, that should be fine ;-)
Thanks for the comment 👍
Hello, what if the 2 pinned plug isn't flat like the one you've shown? Is it possible to convert a cuboid shaped plug safely? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm not an expert, but you might be able to find a converter here- cpc.farnell.com/c/electrical-lighting/mains-plugs-adaptors/mains-converter-plugs
Thanks for the comment 👍
Hi there, Im facing the other way around problem. I needs the 3 pin to 2 pin convertor. Ill be using it for a TV bought in UK and moved to poland. Any suggestion please?
I think you might have to use a travel adapter for that, similar to this - bit.ly/3UUFz7u
If I wanted to use a nice floor light from turkey that uses 2 pin plug, what amp fuse do I need in the uk converter plug , would it be 1, 3 or 13amp?
Probably a 3 Amp fuse, that is what most UK lamps use ;-)
good idea mr Handyman
Thanks for the comment
How did I not know about this plug converter? I'm actually annoyed. Thanks, for bringing this to my attention 👍
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment 👍
So what do you do when your plug looks like the one you rammed into the uk extension lead? How would an adapter fit that? A travel adapter isn’t safe for long term use.
As long as the adapter is fused, it will be fine- fave.co/2LSCkQg
thanks for the info . Ive just bought an electric coolbox with a 2 pin european plug and looking to convert it . I was goinng to cut the plug off and put a 3 pin on but worried about the warranty being invalid . google tells me its illegal to sell these things with 2 pins other than shavers and toothbrushes , in the UK , but I need the box for the weekend and cant find one without.
I'm not sure about the legality, I have bought a few things from eBay and they have come with two pin plugs!
Thanks for the comment
Is there one of these for the 2 pin plug in Indonesia (same voltage as UK)--> UK. I am moving back to the UK and don't know whether to bring my microwave, TV, fridge, washer etc? Thanks
I'm not sure, but you would have to consider the cost of bringing them back to the UK, or buying new over here, I would assume it would be expensive to bring them back. If it is economical to bring them back, cutting off the existing plug and re-wiring it into a standard 3 pin plug should not be a problem, as you will not need to worry about invalidating any guarantees etc.
Thanks for the comment 👍
I learned that plugs in Britain have to be fused (I live in Canada). Speaking of which, does the black converter in the video contain a fuse? If so, than what's the fuse's rating?
Yes it does contain a fuse.
The fuse would depend on the wattage of the appliance.
Common fuse sizes in the UK for plugs are 3A, 5A, 13A
Thanks for the comment 👍
@@ultimatehandyman I was asking about the rating of the fuse that was specifically in the converter.
@@raymondplouffe9521 it was 5 amp
A lot of the middle to upper end Black and Decker stuff comes with converters like than on already.
Thanks for the comment
could it be dangerous if you use ch charger with us adapter and also uk adapter.And also I dont know about voltage could it be dangerous?
It should say the voltage on the charger. Some chargers will work on 110V or 230V, but not all. If it does not say on the charger, I would Google for the exact charger model number and check the instructions.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Do you mean a Swiss charger? A general rule is to avoid stacking adapters though with a phone charger that is not much a problem. Is it Europlug or Swiss own plug? In Europlug the prongs are bent inwards. I advice you to get a proper adapter. Sometimes it may simplest just to get a UK charger. They are not expensive. Switzerland has same voltage as UK.
Is there anything wrong with the last (screwdriver) method? The plug will stay where it is so i only need to do this once
Yes, it is dangerous. Two pin European plugs do not have a built in fuse and are designed to be plugged into an electrical outlet that is protected by a smaller amperage fuse.
Can you convert US plug to the 3 pin plug? Like cutting it off. I have a car blow dryer and I convert it to the 3 pin plug but it keep blow the fuse so idk what I should do now. Hope you can help me
No, USA uses 110v the UK and Europe uses 230V
Thanks for the comment 👍
Say an electric saw is 100v 2 pin plug in Japan you bring it to UK stick a 3 pin plug on it plug it in to 230v system we use does it work?
No, it will probably be badly damaged as soon as you press the trigger switch.
Brilliant, I have 2 electric fires for a new house build and both are 2 pin plugs and I was about to ask the electrician to change the plugs
👍
@@ultimatehandyman could I quickly ask are the plug in adapters as good to use too, the ones whereby u plug the 2 pin into it and then into the 3 pin socket it goes
@@Rayk76 I would not use them, to be honest, they are more useful for traveling.
@@ultimatehandyman Thanks for your video. I have a microwave and TV from Germany. Can I use this plug to convert them and use them safely?
@@traceydale6929 Yes 👍
The 90 degree two pin E.U. plug (like the one you had in your hand) has no adapter, you need to wire into a 3 pin plug?
bit.ly/32ZOM6z
Ultimate Handyman What about an Earth if it’s a metal touch lamp?
@@The_Joker_ That adapter has a built in earth, and also a fuse.
I have just received a clock which I'm assuming was manufactured in China and which came with a plug with 2 thin prongs in a v shape. Do you know if you are able to get adapters for this type of plug similar to the adaptor for the two pronged plug you showed in the video so that it can be used in UK sockets, or should I return for a refund?
I'm not sure, sorry. But it sounds like the ones you get on a multi-country travel adapter, but I don't know which country uses that type of plug, or what voltage they use. You might be better off sending it back!
Thanks for the comment 👍
@@ultimatehandyman Many thanks for your reply. Since I posted my question to you, I managed to get it to work with the adapter that came with my phone (also from China), so I have ordered a similar one.
Given the warranty times of the crap we are sold these days I will go on cutting off the silly plugs and putting on the sensible and safe British three pin.
Thanks for the comment
I hate euro plugs too but I wait until the warranty has expired
especially if it's only 1 years which is often the case for small items.
Then I snip the euro plug off and put a British 3 pin plug on.
can you give us a link where you get a convert plug please enjoyed the video.

Thanks for the info Chez ! Never knew you could get those 'adapters'. Have a great week!
Thanks John ;-)
Wondering if you know of any plug converters for UK to AUD power outlets?
No, sorry. I'm not sure about that 🤔
Hi mate, I can’t find any of those converter plugs for £2. I have checked B&Q and screwfix, do you have an updated link as the other one doesn’t work for me.

Hi
Isn't there a wrong or right connector side (negative or positive) or can it go anyway in the plug?
Hi,
No, it does not matter which way it goes ;-)
Thanks for the comment 👍
@@ultimatehandyman Thanks for letting me know. 👌
Any idea what the best thing to do to convert a 1950s two pin plug to a modern three pin?
Not sure about that, I'd be inclined to replace the cable too!
Remember when we had to wire our own plugs?
I remember it very well. I even remember when we used to repair everything, including electric kettles etc. Now I bet you can't even buy an element for a kettle!
Thanks for the comment
I converted French plugs to Australian 3 pin years ago when my wifes family moved out there no problem the voltage here is 230 over there 240 , but what in a pain in the preverbial is the fact that French multi boards have a locking mechanism which are frankly hard the connect anything to!.... I guess its done for safety reasons?
I've never seen the French multi-boards, so can't comment!

Hi thanks for the video, can you do the reverse and wire a uk plug to a EU plug, I'm moving to Greece and taking my tv and projectors and some other bits, I have purchased a 4 gang uk to EU converters ut I would like to know if I can rewire the plug rather than use converters all the time, hope someone can advise on this, thank you.
It's not something that I have ever done. I just took a quick look, but can only find 2.5A rewirable two pin plugs (I only took a quick look). You might be better asking Big Clive, he will know for certain- ruclips.net/user/Bigclive
@@ultimatehandyman you can get ones for earthed appliances too, but I've only found them on non English language websites
I have a German outside security light,inside,the wires are,brown,blue,and red. How do I wire it to aUK 13 amp 3 pin plug.
You'd have to check the instructions, use the appropriate fuse (probably 3 amp) and wire it according to the instructions.
Blue will likely be Neutral
Brown will likely be live or switched live
red could be switched live, or live
You would I presume need to plug it into a Fused outlet or did the converter plug have a fuse installed that you didn't show us?
The convertor plug has its own fuse ;-)
How do you know which is the correct pin on the EU plug for the UK converter plug?
It does not matter, the pins can go either way ;-)
Thanks for the comment 👍
Mostly it does not matter but if it is something that has a switch like a lamp then you can try with a non-contact voltage tester if there is voltage beyond the switch when it is off and reverse the plug if there is. Or you could check continuity from the pin to the screw with a multimeter. The neutral should have continuity.
I just wanted to know how to change the 2 pin plug itself as i snapped onenof the pins on it...cant find the info anywhere :(
You can get one like this-

What should I do if the 2 pin plug attached to a lamp I bought has broken? Do I replace with a 2 pin and then buy that adapter you suggested? I am tempted to wire the 2 pin flex into a 3 pin but that's not allowed I think!. By the way I live in Cyprus lol😂😂!
I'd just rewire it into a 3 pin plug 👍
I bet it's a bit warmer weather where you are 😉
@@ultimatehandyman actually no! It started raining a week ago and it hasn't stopped! And the temperature dropped from 25 c to 15 c in a day! However, this is the first rain since March!

Short and sweet! Can you buy a converter plug for something with an Australian plug as well?!?!
Not sure about that. I just checked Google and it seems that the only ones available are the travel type adapters. I guess they would work, but not an ideal solution.
Thanks for the comment 👍
@@ultimatehandyman You're welcome! 🙂👍
Does this plug adapter fit the the flat two pin us plug aswell?
No, the US appliances are 110V the European appliances are 230V
Thanks for the comment 👍
But you can buy the same sort of plug but from US plug to Uk plug is this correct well I did but on the outside of the plug it says make sure it’s 260v and I checked my item it’s says it’s dual voltage 110-240v is this ok to use? Thankyou
@@carmelquinn2872 As long as it is dual voltage it should be fine ;-)

Does it matter which way round you put the 2 pin plug into the 3 pin adaptor
No, it does not matter 👍
@@ultimatehandyman thanks opted for a lead adaptor from amazon, two black wires one with a grey stripe for a vintage hifi eq, didnt feel brave enough to rewire it
What if your plug is shaped differently? Can't use those adapters and nothing has actually been converted, you just showed an adapter, not that it's not good, just title is off.
where do you buy that converter thing
You can get them on ebay- bit.ly/3HIjjak
I do have 2 european switch chargers but since im in the US I do plan on ordering safer travel adapters for them as rn they are using ones manufactured in china

Stupid question, but do converters cause issues with devices such as monitors? Or is there more of a chance of a fire?
No, they should be absolutely fine!

Hi I ordered a vacuum cleaner from amazon but it came with a 16a EU plug.
You might have to cut that off and wire it into a UK 16A plug, but you will then need a 16A socket (we have them on site, but they are not common)

How about a Usa plug into uk standard? How would one go about that safely?
I'm afraid you can't do that, as the UK voltage is 230V and the US voltage is 110V

@@ultimatehandyman Most equipment now is multi-voltage and work fine.
Hi can this method be used for US 2 pin plugs too?
No, I'm afraid they use a different voltage in the USA
Thanks for the comment 👍
Check the appliance, if the range shown includes the 220-240V used in the UK, then you don't need a voltage transformer
Can you just cut off American plug, and wire into uk 13a plug?
No, it will be the wrong voltage.
Thanks for the comment 👍
I just ordered a hairdryer with an eu plug on it bcoz the uk ones are always out of stock.
I thought it would come with the plug shape that u had in this video....
That flat type like this emoji🔌
If u can see it lol.
And of course it didn't🙄
I then got the same adaptor u showed, not realising its for shavers so when i plugged it in, the dryer worked for 2 seconds until i changed the heat setting & obviously it cut out.
Very hard to describe the plug thats on the dryer, it's round, has a cut out shape on the top & bottom & from what i can find on dr google its a type f..... but dont quote me on it.
I really want to do what you've done at the end, put it into a uk where its fitted, covered & safe.
Does anyone know of a uk 3 pin adapter that is shaped for the round probably type f eu plug that can go into it.....
Or, where can i take it to have an electrician cut the plug off & rewire it into a uk plug, is that even an option bcoz obviously i dont want to blow the block up or hurt myself......
This hairdryer is expensive & it was on sale for a good price so thats why i got it instead of waiting....
Thinking im gonna have to send it back tho, im just so scared when it comes to electrics, i honestly thought it was gonna be so easy to get an adaptor & its fine🙈😆
Just chop off plug and wire a three pin one on instead. I do like the idea of using a converter but it's just a personal option to use a normal UK plug
Thanks for the comment
I prefer normal plugs but I wait at least until the item is outside the guarantee
before I cut off the euro plug and fit a normal plug.
That can invalidate warranties and can be a hassle, for example if you don't know how to wire a plug
Is there anythign for 2 pin American?
No, you have to be careful as an American appliance will be a different voltage to a UK, or EU appliance (which are normally 230v ish)
hi i have a two pin plug thats become faulty how do i fix it
You can buy re-wireable 2 pin plugs, they sell them on eBay.
You just need to get the right one for your country ;-)
How do open those plugs
You can't open some plugs, as they are moulded onto the cable in the factory.
I have a steam room, tried this method as my steam machine was 2 pins [but there was an earth wire inside the wire for good conversion]. Anyway don't try those shitty adapters with anything that takes a bit of power coz they just melt. In my case wiring directly into a trip switch[RCD] was the way forward.
Thanks for the comment
but if the item you bought in Britian came fitted with a two pin Euro plug send it back and demand the same item with a proper BS1363 plug ie a three pin plug
Thanks for the comment
Useful but my two pin plugs wire comes out of the side instead of the back😥
😱
Using this adapter does that mean it now have earthing
No, many two pin appliances are double insulated, so the cable is only two core 👍
What about the round two pin to UK?
I think you need one of these- cpc.farnell.com/smj-electrical/tastac-dx/travel-adaptor-schuko-to-uk/dp/PL11540?st=euro%20plug%20adaptor
Where can these be bought
tinyurl.com/9whzyxm8
This doesn't help with the heavier duty EU plug (Schuko Plug) that you will find on most larger appliances.
👍
You should use an earthed adaptor or cut the plug off and wire on a UK plug (though be aware that that could invalidate warranties and the like)
Doesnt it matter which way you put the 2 pin plug into the UK plug adaptor..? I mean polarity - Live and Neutral ?
No, it does not matter ;-)
Thanks for the comment
@Dirk Diggler AC does not care of polarity most cases. Polarity mainly matters if you have some lamp that has a switch that cuts just one wire. With proper polarity you can ensure that the switch disconnects the line and not the neural so there is no voltage beyond the switch when it is off. In Europe there is 50% chance that there is voltage on the lamp even when it is off. We are taught to unplug before changing the bulb (safe anyway as you may not remember which side is off and which on). I personally think two pole switches should be mandatory for such lamps.For example extension cords with switches do cut both line and neutral.
Note if you use a UK equipment on a travel adapter in Europe you cannot be sure it connects the same way. Sure the standard in most countries is same as in the UK but in some like Czechia it is the opposite. Also often sockets are wired incorrectly. That is not really an error here, you should do it correctly but if it is wrong that is not a reason to fix it. Speaking of Czechia, they use French plugs that in the grounded version are polarized but as they have different polarization they always will connect it the wrong way.
1:30 That is a schuko plug, stuffing it is so is especially bad as it will not ground it. There are such plugs actually for schuko also: www.amazon.co.uk/Invero%C2%AE-European-Schuko-Converter-Grounded-Black/dp/B01N6QC1I5
In most European countries there actually are three different plugs: the flat Europlug is the most common. It is for double insulated devices up to 2.5 A. The grounded schuko is the second (modern plugs work also on French sockets). The least common is the double insulated contour pug that is used on devices that need more than 2.5 A. That is on hair dryers, vacuum cleaners and some tools. The Europlug is only up to 2.5 A as it has too thin pins 4 mm instead of 4.8 mm so that it works also in Italy and Switzerland. The pins are flexible and bent inwards to ensure the contact.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Cutting the plug off invalidates any warranty. Always use a 2 pin EU to 3 pin UK adapter (or a Schuko to UK adapter where applicable).
I assume you didn’t actually watch the video? 😉
What happens if you blow a fuse?
Just open up the plug and replace it ;-)
Thanks for the comment
Ultimate Handyman The plug is sealed ya Dummy,
there has to be a fuse in the appliance that has to be replaced.What the Hell was I asking you for :)
Great video thanks for invite, I just woundered I have a heavy duty polisher well its 16A 240 volts on the plug will the method you describe ld be safe or do the adapters come in different strengths as I was told 13A is uk standard plug and so it won't be possible without cutt8ng the cord???
No, normally 16A apliances will need a special 16A plug, like this- fave.co/3NbTUZY
