In Italy we also use a F + L hybrid socket, so you can use type C, L and E + F hybrid plugs.
Here is a handy trick.
The shaver outlets found in the bathroom in a lot of hotels outside of North America allow for multiple plug types, they are similar to what you find on planes. They have a very low current/power capacity but are sufficient to charge a phone or a camera battery
I only buy appliances with type A plug as it is the most common - US and Asia is ok, then I have 2 light plugs for Europe and UK. Usually can ask hotel desk if you don't have right plug.
Parts of Asia uses EU Plug in Indonesia, UK plug in Singapore, Malaysia, etc..
I also buy Chinese 3 pin for foreign plug power strips and chargers + univeral plug adapter
This is very helpful and informative. Thank you!
Type N has been the standard in Brazil for many years. Type C used to be the standard but it's been slowly replaced by type N. Both can be found.
It’s important to note that voltage adapters does NOT adapt frequency. And hair dryers ARE high power devices.
Yep, I'd consider anything over 500W as high power
A hair dryer costs about 10 €. It makes no sense to buy an expensive converter for one.
On the other hand, most places have towels. Your hair will thank you. 👍🏻
@@okaro6595 bad dryer, good dryers are at least $100
@@okaro6595 only 10 € for a hairdryer?
Here in Australia you can get a better one for 70 €
Really helpful post guys. Thanks for posting.
Actually, Brazil uses type J or N. new buildings have ground as mandatory now, the two-pin only is used mostly for previous buildings that were not built with ground, but you can, as I did, actually install your own ground and have all the plugins with the 3 pin format.
The best travel adapters I’ve found are by SKROSS and Lencent. Their Type G adapters for use in the UK are fused as required by BS1362, a UK Electrical Standard. It provides added protection to the user and devices. Many adapters designated for use in the UK are not fused. The UK uses a ring circuit instead of radial circuit like in the US. The ring bus is protected by a much higher circuit breaker usually rated at 34 amps unlike in the radial circuit which is 15A. Unfused adapters will not protect anything connected to the adapter. The build quality of the SKROSS and Lencent brands are excellent.
Type M is used in India as well. It is used for 16 A circuits for heavier appliances like water heaters. Type D is used on 6 A circuits for regular appliances.
That being said, if you are traveling to India, the kinds of appliances you would carry, you would only need an adapter to type D (or even type C, because you can shove a type C plug into a Type D socket) plug.
S Korea & Phillippines runs on 220- 240V/60zHz while Japan is 100V /50&60Hz depending if youre in north or south Japan. Brazil have both 127V and 240v at 60Hz.
East Japan is 100V 50Hz, 60Hz for West Japan.
110V - 127V 50Hz for Jamaica, Barbados, Curacao and Bonaire.
i'm having a hard time finding a type L to any other type of adapter. it's hard to find one
I went to Generator Hostel London UK the 1st time I went out the USA. As mentioned the whole room I saw just one duplex socket in the whole infernal room. God is good all the time! My bunk was directly at the socket! I had to use the heating pad and in Iceland my second foreign country I cited health reasons which was true to make sure I was near a socket. Fewer bunks and while some sockets were out, there was a extension cable to the functional socket so I could still plug up. Again, thank God he done looked out for me again!
Tip: if you go to countries where the plug is type G (🇬🇧, 🇮🇪, 🇨🇾, 🇲🇾, 🇭🇰, 🇸🇬 etc), don't buy cheap adapters, they don't have fuses that'll protect your devices from being overcurrent. Our plugs have fuses.
Also don't buy adapters with plastic earth prongs, unless you are gonna plug an unearthed appliance.
I wonder why?
Most of the plugs that are non-type G don't have fuses.
Great video..can we use extension cord with voltage converter and charge multiple devices?
The best explanation. However the part that was very confusing for me when we arrived at our hotel in France, they had the round outlets in the room with the grounded male prong. I did not know that we could use JUST the 2 prong adapter for our phones etc. It wasn’t until I saw your video with the pictures of the two types of adapters, but it really wasn’t explained in detail, but I figured it out by your illustration/photo. Thank you!
Life's a playground, so wear that smile proud.
Just the info I was looking for.
Very good info
Thanks
2:04 the two middle ones are the Same, you don't need both 😂
Useful information bro ❤❤
Going to Montreal visiting from New York. Are they same type of outlet n voltage?
great thorough review, and clear explanations! thanks so much :)
Thanks a lot, very useful information
Hi, I've got some joyful news that will make you happy!
can I use 220v 60hz sewing machine on 230v 50hz with a typical converter/adopter that can found in any hardware shop?
So resourceful, thanks alot
Very helpful thank you!
So you think that your microwave is ectrically bigger than your hairdryer? LOL
Have you tried to dry your hair in a microwave ?????????
Does travel adopter has grounding inbuilt...
I have an instrument stomp box that works off EU 220V and want to use it in the USA. This box has a built in transformer so does this plug have something built in to automatically drop the voltage to 120V?
Please make a video on top 10 in Toronto
Hi there i really wanna charge my electric longboard when im on going but sometimes i cant find a place to charge it so i thought if there was a adapter that goes from eu stick to a usb that i can plug in my powerbank? Pls answer
The best travel guide
Is it safe to bring a PAL PS2 or Nintendo DSi to America?
I have a Gigabyte Aorus 1440p monitor that came with 3 power adapters. type B, C and a type I. I live in the US so we obviously use A and B so I didn't need the C or the I.
Are adapters safe to use all the time? Let's say you move overseas for good. Can you use a travelling adapters the whole time or is it unsafe for like a mini fridge, guitar amplifier or even a gaming set up ??? Please answer. Thank you 🙏
Adapters are not intended for long term continuous use. Need to review local electrical codes where you’ll be at to determine what modifications can be made to be legally safe.
I have a digital watch that was sent to me from China I’m in the USA what I need a step up adapter what do you recommend? Thanks Vince
I have a type H for Israel and I'm in US. Can I bring on flight with me without them taking it through customs?
Grounding has nothing to do with the size but whether the device is double insulated.
Double insulated is like being two steps away from being electrocuted. Most power tools in the past had metal bodies whereas now they have plastic bodies. Double insulated because the current carrying conductors s are insulated and the tool body is plastic.
Hi from Libya
UK type G and Italy type C and Germany type E,F power outputs 240V in Libya
Italy also use type L plugs.
I love how he explains the usbs
Hello Hungry Passport,
I just bought a speaker from spain that has a europe type plug, and I need to understand exactly which type of device I need to buy to plug it in the United States? Do I need a euro to usa convertor, adapter or transformer? I'm confused. I labeled the power requirement with the details below.
Name Of Speaker: LG Dj OL100 XBoom 2000W Portable
200 - 240 V ~ 50/60 Hz 170 W
I will be going to Brazil in juli. And need to know what I need to buy to use my hair hot tools?
Can you please inform me what I need to plug into a campsite pitch electrics. I am from the UK.

Hey Siti, sure, NYC video is coming next week 😀 Stay tuned 🗽
@@HungryPassport Hey exuse me I dont see mine on here idk what it is do you have any social media so I can send you the image?
which one we need for lebanon
What’s the most common for Israel and Egypt ?
need one to charge my macbook air in spain, any suggestions?
Buy the ceptics one or anker they are better
So devices with power adaptors having AC/DC 100~240v 50~60Hz means it will work safetly all over the world?
Yes
@@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY thank you😁
Interesting 😎
thank you for saying microwave is a NO. LOL thank you!
Power adapters are not intended for long term continuous use.
is using a powe adapter will lessen the fast charging? I'm playing to buy a phone but the charger that goes with it is a different type on my country
Taiwan is not a part of China and it does not use the same plug. Thanks.
RUclips is so useful.
I live in the USA. I am going to the Philippines what adaptor converter i need to plug in my Samsung Phone and Tablet ? Please help. Thank you !
Check the adapter converter (or USB charger) that came with the phone and tablet. Chances are it will say 100-240 volts. This is a universal voltage. Today’s USB chargers are made with universal voltage capability. There is an internal sensing circuit that will automatically switch to the correct voltage.
A system error has diverted the transaction to an invalid email address.
I live in Romania. What would I need in the UK?
Hey there, you would need an adapter from E (or C) to G. An adapter like this one shown here should do the job: ruclips.net/video/IX3Fksa7ukI/видео.html
@@HungryPassport Thank you! No voltage converter needed, right?
@@Florentina-ox9xq That's right :) Happy to help!
@@HungryPassport Thanks! :)
do computers need a grounded outlet
Thank you sir
I have a dual voltage hair straightener (110-240V) (50/60Hz) (50W) will it be okay to just plug into a plug adapter ? I am American going to Spain
Yes
From my recent experience, I would be buying small individual adapters for the regions I'm travelling to, and bringing along a power strip from my home country.
Why?
The smaller wall adapters don't block the wall switches.
(Oh, and they are so cheap...I think they cost next to nothing to manufacture...a UK style wall adapter cost lass than 1 ringgit on a Malaysian internet shopping site, like WTF?)
Make sure the UK adapter is fused or has a built in replaceable fuse.
Thank you for your full information! Very helpful. I'll buy your adapters.
So how do I hook up my UK Xbox in the US and I have conveyer and it runs power but doesn’t turn on my original Xbox
Buy 100V - 127V XBOX power brick or Step up voltage converter 500w.
Some other countries other than Americas and Japan use 60hz tho
But japan also uses 50hz
The difference in frequency will change the internal impedance of the device if it uses inductors or transformer in the input power circuit. An increase in impedance will result in reduced current the device will draw, and vice versa. Usually devices are built to handle both frequencies. You might feel the device gets a little warmer.
This serves as formal notification of the successful receipt of the BTC transaction.
How important is it to have a surge protector abroad for something like a laptop?
It depends on how much you value your laptop.
Great video, thank you!
I have a question, so I moved to Germany and I have a MacBook M1, the charger is 100-240V and 50-60 Hz is it okay and safe to use it with an adapter head that says 220-250V~ ? or should I buy a new charger/voltage converter?
Multivoltage is okay with that plug and wattage
Never use a converter on a computer. You may ruin it. The heads say just the maximum voltage.
Behold! The BTC transaction has safely reached our coffers.
We need a WORLD TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION that works on standardization of power etc…
Thanks
I live in USA and am going to France Germany and Italy, what adapters will I need?
Buy Type C for 2 pin, Schuko and French (type E + F) plug adapter for 3 Pin US and universal and also for Italy, Type L (3 pin horizontal plug).
Type C wobbles too much in a Schuko socket. The Type E or F are better.
I don't know if anyone can answer me but can I use a European playstation in south Africa for long periods of time?
Yes With new Europlug on new South African Type N outlet can fit. Type M requires plug adapter. If UK plug, need adapter.
Taiwan uses also type A and type B, but not type I as in your video.
I have a question can the UK nintendo switch be charged in the US?
Yes. You need plug adapter. It says 100V - 240V.
5:44 Why American plug is dangerous, it can partially inserted and live connected. There's no insulation on the prongs. It can have a chance to touch or something fall between the prongs.
Why rest of world is dangerous-220 volts can kill you
@@tonyriddle5491 Ampre kills, Voltage detemine the time to kill.
Type G is also used Most English speaking Caribbean countries
Also used in Macau (former Portuguese colony), Cyprus, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, UAE.
Going from Australia to Japan… but don’t need earth ,, should I just remove it 😅
I see that Taiwan was omitted for plugs.
Which adaptor do I need for Bangladesh? 🇧🇩
Type D and Type G
I live in thailand and I've never seen a type o in my entire life
My man used the whole alphabet💀
Brazil is type j
Hey Nathan, good eye, however, type J is almost identical to type N (used in Brazil)
Type J can’t fit on Brazil Type N outlet. South Africa also use Type N. You can use Type C Europlug 4.0mm chargers in South Africa without plug adapter.
Just bought Skross plug adapter with Italy/Brazil/Swiss middle ground pin interchangeable, top is Swiss, middle is Brazil and horizontally is Italian.
don't buy adapters at all. Just bring a power strip from your country, and then cut the plug off and wire up a plug from the country you are visiting (can be taken from a broken or cheap appliance). When you go to a new country, just replace the plug again like last time. It won't work for voltage changes like if you travel with a hair dryer from the video, but works for most things and lets you charge/use multiple devices simultaneously.
If one like to play with fire, don’t come to me.

Where's Philippines
It’s an island country in Asia, south of Taiwan, east of Vietnam.
I see a simple way to solve the problem, everybody adapts to Liechtenstein
americas and japan : 120v 60hz
saudi arabia: *lemme change the hz*
Actually Japan is 100 V and they have both 50 and 60 Hz depending on the location.
@@okaro6595 k
East Japan is 50Hz, West Japan is 60Hz
Type C, E and F are the best. Americans are trying so hard to look as if they have a culture by sticking to inferior stuff such as this and imperial units while SI metric system is superior.
Agree. No question Types E, F, and G are superior over the Type A and B.
First have a friend in a country that you are going to. Then all will be fine.
type d 🇮🇳 1:08
Type D use India🇮🇳
This is madness
kinda wish there was an easily available version for going from type A/B to G or some other such. I want the safety features of a type G but of course our canadian outlets gotta follow our "jesus take the wheel" neighbors down south. I'll tell you what, a type A outlet's got a damn good chance of helping you meet ol' jeezy boy real quick compared to a type G.
And the bad thing is jeezy boy may not accept you through the pearly gates.
Type of d use India🇮🇳
just 1 country uses miles
What?
Myanmar too
How about driving on the UK roads??
Cuba is what
US Type A or B and Europe plug type C. 110V and some hotels uses 220V
Hi youtuber, I want to tell you one thing that you have used wrong map of our loving country INDIA. I request you to change it in Video if not possible please from now on use the correct map of india, to tell you where is the problem, the issue is with the map of our loving Jammu and kashmir and Leh Ladakh, I have noticed these two only please correct if there are more. I hope you respect our feelings and love for our loving country INDIA and I am sure it was an innocent mistake which you will correct in your upcoming videos. I pray for wonderful and successful life for you brother.
There is no Philippines
