If you have never traveled outside of North America or South America, you probably have never seen more than just one kind of electrical plug. This is because North America and most of South America, and a few other places such as Bermuda and Belize, all use the same kind of plug. But most other countries do not use this plug. In fact, there are a total of six different types of electrical plugs used around the world. Most of Europe uses a single type, but it is still different from the one used in North America, and also different from the type used in Asia. This is why it is important for you to buy the right kind of plug adapter when you travel. If you buy the wrong one, you won’t be able to plug anything in! In some countries, like Belarus , you will find many different types of outlets. Make sure to find out if you’ll need multiple plug adapters before you travel, and be sure of what type to get as well.
In Belarus where plug adapters are necessary, voltage converter s may also be needed. This is not always the case, because some electronics are dual-voltage. These items have a voltage of 110v-220v, and do not need a voltage converter in order to work in foreign countries like Tanzania and Wales. But if you want to use a single-volt appliance in a country that uses 220v, you’ll need a voltage converter . Without one, your appliance will likely cause a fire when being plugged into the foreign outlet. However, it is a good idea to find a voltage converter that has a wattage at least 25% higher than the appliance’s wattage. The voltage converter will last longer in this case. The wattage for the appliance is calculated by multiplying the amp by the wattage, however in many cases it is listed on the appliance itself.
