What is a plug adapter anyway? You are planning a trip to somewhere exotic like Paris or London and you even have your voltage converters and transformers ready for your non-dual voltage appliances. But you notice that the outlets there are completely different from the ones in the US. Some even have more or less prongs! It is near impossible to fit your plug into these outlets and you probably would not even want to try, considering the damage it may cause to the outlet, your appliance, and even you!
But never to fear, plug adapters are here to the rescue! Plug adapters function as a way to connect your appliance to the outlet. It has two sides to it. One side has a socket where your plug can fit in, while the other side is a plus that can fit into the strange outlet. This way, you can still get the electricity from the outlet to your appliance.
Sometimes, the plug adapter also has to connect to a voltage converter. Be sure to have the appropriate voltage converters connected to your appliances. Your voltage converters should have a 25%+ higher wattage rating than your appliance, to make sure it lasts long. If your appliance is dual-voltage though, you don’t even need to use a voltage converter with it. If your appliance has an 110V-220V voltage rating, it is dual-voltage. If it has an 110V rating, it is single-voltage, and failing to use a voltage converter with it could result in disaster! Most rechargeable things are dual-volt, as well as some hair driers. But many things are not dual-volt. Make sure you know which of your items are dual voltage and which are single-volt. It is important to your appliances, and to your own health! And remember to always use a plug adapter, even with dual-volt appliances. It is a fire hazard if you attempt to use an appliance without one.
