Traveling to Canada

Posted on 18 March 2010 by admin

Canada is a large country occupying most of the North American continent. It is located North of the United States. You might be planning on traveling to Canada .
But did you know that worldwide, two types of electrical voltage are used? North America, most of Central and South America, Japan, and some areas in Europe and Asia use 110v electrical current. All of the electronic devices available to buy in these places are designed for 110v, so when you plug it in, it does not malfunction or create a health hazard.
Most of Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia use 220v electrical current. Likewise, all of the appliances made available there are designed to be plugged into 220v. If you want to travel with some of your appliances to a country that uses 220v, you should be prepared so that your safety does not become compromised. Bring dual-voltage appliances on your trip. These appliances list their voltage rating on their information panel as 110v-220v. They can be used safely in 220v outlets. Many lithium battery products, such as laptops, digital cameras, and digital camcorders, are dual-voltage. However, if you see that your device only lists 110v as its voltage rating, it is single-voltage. If you want to bring single-volt items with you, all you need to do is get a voltage converter . These will enable you to use your 110v appliances in a country that uses 220v. Get a voltage converter that has a 25% higher wattage rating than the appliance you intend to use it with. The appliance’s wattage, if it is not listed on its panel, can be found by multiplying its volts by its amps.
If you are going to Canada , voltage converter s and dual-voltage electronics are not necessary. It uses 110v electricity.
Plug adapters are not necessary to bring to the Canada either, as this country uses the same design of electrical plug as the United States.

Are you going to Cameroon?

Posted on 18 March 2010 by admin

The Republic of Cameroon is a country in Western Africa. If you are planning on traveling to Cameroon with some of your personal electronic appliances, you might not be able to use them unless they are designed for 220v electrical current. Most countries outside of the Americas use 220v. But a few places, like Cameroon , use both 110v and 220v. If you are going to Cameroon , be prepared for 220v by bringing dual-voltage appliances. If an electronic device is dual-voltage, it means that it accepts both 110v and 220v electrical current. It will indicate this by showing a 110v-220v voltage rating on its indication panel.
But if you do not own any dual-voltage appliances, and don’t want to buy any, you can buy voltage converter s for your single-volt appliances.
voltage converter s attach to your electrical devices and regulate the electrical current coming out of outlets that use 220v. Without a voltage converter , your single-volt appliances are a safety hazard. They will not work, and may cause a fire. If you want to buy voltage converter s for the single-volt appliances you are bringing with you to Belgium, find the wattage rating on the appliances. If it isn’t listed, just multiply the voltage by the amp. When you have this wattage number, buy a voltage converter that is 25% higher in wattage than the appliance you intend to use it with.
Cameroon also uses two different types of electrical plugs. One of them is the American style plug that you are probably used to. However, another type of plug is also used in Cameroon , with three cylindrical prongs. Bring a plug adapter designed to fit these outlets in case you do not come across any American-style ones.

Going to Burundi

Posted on 18 March 2010 by admin

Burundi is a small country in Eastern Africa. In order to use electronics from the United States in Burundi , as well as most other countries outside of the American continent, you need two things, a voltage converter and a plug adapter, unless you have dual-voltage electronics. Dual-voltage electronics will work in other countries that use 220v, without a voltage converter . Most countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia use 220v. North America, most of Central America, and much of South America uses 110v. Burundi is a country that uses 220v. The rest of Europe mostly uses 220v as well. If you are traveling to Burundi , be sure to bring either a voltage converter or dual-voltage appliances. If you try to use single-volt appliances in Burundi , you could cause a fire. But how do you know if your electronics are dual-volt or single-volt?
Look for the voltage rating directly on your appliance. If it says 110v, then it is a single-volt appliance. In this case, find the wattage by either looking on the appliance, or multiplying the voltage by the amp. Then, buy a voltage converter for this appliance that has a wattage at least 25% higher than the appliance. This helps the voltage converter to last longer.
But if you found a voltage rating on your appliance that listed 110v-220v, then it is dual-volt. You do not need a voltage converter for these appliances to function in Austria and other countries that use 220v electrical current.
However, even if you are bringing dual-voltage electronics with you to Burundi , you still need a plug adapter, because Burundi uses a different type of plug than the Americas. But be careful when buying your plug adapter, because there are six different common types of plug adapter corresponding to the six different international plug types, and if if you get the wrong one, it won’t work in Burundi . So be sure to buy the correct one.

Electricity in Bulgaria

Posted on 17 March 2010 by admin

There are six different types of electrical plugs used around the world, but one of the most common ones uses three cylindrical prongs. It is not the type of plug that you are probably used to, with two flat prongs and one round one, which is only used in a few places outside of North, Central and South America. In Bulgaria , a country that borders the Black Sea, the plug used is the the cylindrical-pronged one. It is also used throughout the rest of Asia and also Europe. This is why you won’t be able to plug any of your electrical appliances in if you go to Bulgaria .
Fortunately, there is something called a plug adapter that you can buy. It attaches to your appliances and allows you to plug it into outlets in foreign countries. But remember that there are six different kinds of plugs used worlwide, so you must be sure to buy the correct one for the country you are visiting.
You may also need a voltage converter , but only if you plan on bringing single-volt electronics with you when you travel. If you bring dual-voltage appliances, a voltage converter is not needed. To find out if your appliances are dual-voltage or single-voltage, find the voltage rating written on them. If it indicates 110v, then it is single-voltage. You need a voltage converter in order to use it in Bulgaria , because Bulgaria uses 220v. If it says 110v-220v, it is dual-voltage, and no voltage converter is needed.
If you discover that you need a voltage converter for some of your items, look for one that lists a 25% higher wattage than the appliance you plan to use it with. The wattage of your appliances may be indicated on the device itself, but if not, you can multiply the voltage by the amp, and the number you get will be the wattage.

Purchasing the Correct Plug Adapter for Brunei

Posted on 17 March 2010 by admin

Brunei is a tiny country located on the Island of Borneo in Indonesia. In order to use electronics from the United States in most other countries, including Borneo, you need two things, a voltage converter and a plug adapter, unless you have dual-voltage electronics. Dual-voltage electronics will work in other countries that use 220v, without a voltage converter . Most countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia use 220v. North America, most of Central America, and much of South America uses 110v. Brunei is a country that borders India that uses 220v. The rest of Asia mostly uses 220v as well. If you are traveling to Brunei , be sure to bring either a voltage converter or dual-voltage appliances. If you try to use single-volt appliances in Brunei , you could cause a fire. But how do you know if your electronics are dual-volt or single-volt?
Look for the voltage rating directly on your appliance. If it says 110v, then it is a single-volt appliance. In this case, find the wattage by either looking on the appliance, or multiplying the voltage by the amp.

Traveling to Brazil

Posted on 17 March 2010 by admin

Brazil is a large country in South America largely occupied by rain-forest. Did you know that if you travel there, you will find three different types of electrical outlets, all shaped differently? In North America and most of South America, we are used to seeing only one type of outlet. All our electronics and appliances are designed for these outlets, but some countries in South America use many different kinds of outlets. If you’re planning on taking a trip to one of these places, you’ll need to bring a few different types of plug adapters. Otherwise, you won’t be able to use any of the appliances you’ve brought from North America.
Another item you might need to bring is a voltage converter . In addition to different plugs and wall outlets, foreign countries also use a different voltage. The electricity coming out of the wall is 220v in most foreign countries, and the appliances purchased there are designed for that voltage. However in North America and a few other places, like Brazil , the voltage is both 110v and 220v. This means that if you’re traveling to a place that uses 220v, and you want to bring some electronics with you, you’ll probably need a voltage converter just in case you cannot find an area that uses 110v. To find out if you need a voltage converter , simply seek out the voltage of your appliances. It should be listed directly on the devices. If it lists 110v-220v, it is dual-voltage, and you do not need a voltage converter for it.
If it only says 110v, you need a voltage converter , but you should be sure to buy one that has at least a 25% higher wattage than the given appliance. The wattage is a number that is usually listed on the device itself, along with the voltage and amp. However, if it is not listed, simply multiply the voltage by the amp. The product is the wattage. Now you are ready to buy a voltage converter .

Going on a trip to Bhutan

Posted on 16 February 2010 by admin

Bhutan is a landlocked country in south Asia. If you are planning on vacationing there, or even a business trip, be sure to be prepared. You might want to bring some of your electronics to Bhutan . But did you know that Bhutan uses 220v electrical current, and because of this, your electrical devices will not work there? The United States, and most of Central and South America uses 110v current. All your electrical appliances are designed for this voltage. In fact, if you try to plug one of your devices into an outlet in Bhutan , you could start a fire. There are two ways to use your electronics in foreign countries that use 220v. One is dual-volt electronics, and the other is voltage converter s.
You might already have some dual-voltage appliances. Look for the 110v-220v voltage rating on the appliances. You do not need a voltage converter for these items. Laptop computers, digital cameras, and other items containing lithium or rechargable batteries are often dual-volt. But if you only find a 110v voltage rating, you need a voltage converter , because it is single-volt. You should get a voltage converter that has a wattage 25% higher than the appliance. To find the wattage of your appliances, multiply the voltage by the amp. However it may also be indicated on the appliance itself.
After you’ve taken care of your voltage converter needs, make sure to have plug adapters. Otherwise, your plugs won’t fit into the outlets in Bhutan . Find out what kind of electrical plug is used in the country you’re traveling to. Most countries outside the United States, including Bhutan use a plug with three cylindrical prongs. Some areas in China, most of South America, and most of Central America uses the plug that you are used to, with two flat prongs. However, do not assume that the country you’re traveling to uses one of these two examples, because there are six different designs used in plugs around the world.

The appliance’s wattage, if it is not listed on its panel, can be found by multiplying its volts by its amps.
If you are going to the island of Barbuda , voltage converter s and dual-voltage electronics are not necessary. Not only is this an English-speaking island, but it uses 110v electricity.
Plug adapters are not necessary to bring to the Barbuda either, as this island uses the same design of electrical plug as the United States.

Traveling to Barbados

Posted on 16 February 2010 by admin

Around the world, two types of electrical voltage are used. North America, most of Central and South America, Japan, and some areas in Europe and Asia use 110v electrical current. All of the electronic devices available to buy in these places are designed for 110v, so when you plug it in, it does not malfunction or create a health hazard.
Most of Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia use 220v electrical current. Likewise, all of the appliances made available there are designed to be plugged into 220v. If you want to travel with some of your appliances to a country that uses 220v, you should be prepared so that your safety does not become compromised. Bring dual-voltage appliances on your trip. These appliances list their voltage rating on their information panel as 110v-220v. They can be used safely in 220v outlets. Many lithium battery products, such as laptops, digital cameras, and digital camcorders, are dual-voltage. But if you see that your device only lists 110v as its voltage rating, it is single-voltage. If you want to bring single-volt items with you, all you need to do is get a voltage converter . These will enable you to use your 110v appliances in a country that uses 220v. Get a voltage converter that has a 25% higher wattage rating than the appliance you intend to use it with. The appliance’s wattage, if it is not listed on its panel, can be found by multiplying its volts by its amps.
If you are going to Barbados , an island nation in the far west Atlantic ocean, voltage converter s and dual-voltage electronics are not necessary. Not only is this an English-speaking country, but it uses 110v electricity.
Plug adapters are not necessary to bring to the Barbados either, as this country uses the same design of electrical plug as the United States.

Going on a trip to Bangladesh

Posted on 16 February 2010 by admin

In order to use electronics from the United States in most other countries, you need two things, a voltage converter and a plug adapter, unless you have dual-voltage electronics. Dual-voltage electronics will work in other countries that use 220v, without a voltage converter . Most countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia use 220v. North America, most of Central America, and much of South America uses 110v. Bangladesh is a country that borders India that uses 220v. The rest of Asia mostly uses 220v as well. If you are traveling to Bangladesh , be sure to bring either a voltage converter or dual-voltage appliances. If you try to use single-volt appliances in Bangladesh , you could cause a fire. But how do you know if your electronics are dual-volt or single-volt?
Look for the voltage rating directly on your appliance. If it says 110v, then it is a single-volt appliance. In this case, find the wattage by either looking on the appliance, or multiplying the voltage by the amp. Then, buy a voltage converter for this appliance that has a wattage at least 25% higher than the appliance. This helps the voltage converter to last longer.
But if you found a voltage rating on your appliance that listed 110v-220v, then it is dual-volt. You do not need a voltage converter for these appliances to function in Austria and other countries that use 220v electrical current.
However, even if you are bringing dual-voltage electronics with you to Bangladesh , you still need a plug adapter, because Bangladesh uses a different type of plug than the United States. But be careful when buying your plug adapter, because there are six different types of plug adapter corresponding to the six different international plug types, and if if you get the wrong one, it won’t work in Bangladesh . So be sure to buy the correct one.

Touring to Bali

Posted on 08 February 2010 by admin

Bali is one of over 17,000 islands that make up the southeast Asian country of Indonesia. But Bali operates differently from the rest of Indonesia in a few ways. If you are planning on visiting Indonesia and Bali , you may have bought some supplies to help you use your own electronics there. Indonesia uses both 110v and 220v voltage. Some areas use only 110v, and others only use 220v. This is why it is a good idea to bring voltage converter s with you to Indonesia. The United States uses 110v, so your electronics need a voltage converter to work properly in 220v.
Bali is one island in Indonesia that only uses 110v. Therefore you don’t need to use a voltage converter if you are only going to the island of Bali .
If you are planning to visit other islands however, and you are bringing rechargable electronics with you, like digital cameras, or laptop computers, check and see if they are dual-voltage. Many rechargable items are dual-voltage, and do not need voltage converter s. Dual-voltage appliances list 110v-220v as their voltage rating, on their indications panel.
Another difference the rest of Indonesia has with its island Bali is the electrical plugs. Indonesia uses two types of plugs. One of these types is the one you are used to, the American plug with two flat prongs and one round one. The other type is the European plug, the most common type of plug used around the world. It has three rounded prongs.
Bali uses only one type of plug, and it is not either of the plugs found in the rest of Indonesia. It is a plug with only two rounded prongs. Be sure to buy all the compatible plug adapters you need, and be sure to buy the correct one, because there are six different plug adapters available, making it easy to get confused.
