Going to Finland, Need a plug adapter and voltage converter

Posted on 06 January 2012 by admin

Finland is a Scandanavian country in Northern Europe. In order to use electronics from the United States in Finland, 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. Finland is a country that uses 220v. The rest of Europe mostly uses 220v as well. If you are traveling to Finland, be sure to bring either a voltage converter or dual-voltage appliances. If you try to use single-volt appliances in Finland, 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 Finland and other countries that use 220v electrical current.
However, even if you are bringing dual-voltage electronics with you to Finland, you still need a plug adapter, because Finland uses a different type of plug than the Americas. 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 Finland. So be sure to buy the correct one.

Every wounder what you need when traveling to Fiji

Posted on 06 January 2012 by admin

The Republic of the Fiji Islands is a popular tourist destination. It is located in the South Pacific ocean, North of New Zealand. In order to use electronics from the United States in Fiji, 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. Fiji is a country that uses 220v. The other islands around Fiji mostly use 220v as well. If you are traveling to Fiji, be sure to bring either a voltage converter or dual-voltage appliances. If you try to use single-volt appliances in Fiji, you could cause a fire. But how do you know if your electronics are dual-volt or single-volt?

When you travel to Falkland Islands you will need

Posted on 01 November 2011 by admin

The Falkland Islands are a British territory consisting of an archipeligo. But, in order to use electronics from the United States in the Falkland Islands, 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. The Falkland Islands are an archipeligo that uses 220v. The rest of South America however, mostly uses 110v. If you are traveling to Falkland Islands, be sure to bring either a voltage converter or dual-voltage appliances. If you try to use single-volt appliances in Falkland Islands, 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 Denmark and other countries that use 220v electrical current.
However, even if you are bringing dual-voltage electronics with you to Falkland Islands, you still need a plug adapter, because Falkland Islands uses a different type of plug than the rest of the Americas. 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 Falkland Islands. So be sure to buy the correct one.

Going on a trip to the Faeroe Islands

Posted on 01 November 2011 by admin

The Faeroe Islands are a network of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, North of Great Britain and West of Norway. Are you planning a trip there? Isolated islands of great interest to many scientists, but you may just want to experience the rich culture, the culture, or the unique food. But you should know that the Faeroe Islands use electrical plugs that are probably shaped differently from the ones you are used to in the United States. You might be planning to bring some of your electronics to the Faeroe Islands, but American-style plugs are not used at all in Faeroe Islands. There are six different types of plugs that are used around the world, and most countries outside North and South America use the common three-cylindrical-pronged design. The Faeroe Islands use this model, but also a two-prong design. But you do not need to buy new electronics in Faeroe Islands in order to use any electronics there. You simply need plug adapters. Purchase both types that you will need in Faeroe Islands, and be sure to buy the correct kind, keeping in mind there are six total plug types, and Faeroe Islands only uses two.
Most places outside of North America also use a higher voltage current. 110v is the voltage used by North America and most of Central and South America. However, in most other continents, 220v is used. In countries where 220v is used, it is important to bring a voltage converter that has a 25% higher wattage rating than the appliance you are using it for. In Faeroe Islands, the voltage used is 220v, the most commonly used voltage. So if you are going to Cyprus, be sure to also get a voltage converter. This does not apply if you are bringing dual-voltage appliances. However, single-volt appliances will need a voltage converter. The wattage should be indicated on the indication panel of the devices. If not, multiply the voltage by the amp. Then you can buy the correct voltage converters for your selected appliances.
