Packing a Voltage Converter in Your Luggage is as Essential as Packing a Toothbrush

We live in a world that is increasingly global.  Whether we are living in the USA or any other country, the likelihood of life or business taking us overseas on vacation or to work is increasingly possible. Wherever anyone may travel, it’s increasingly possible there will be a need to pack a voltage converter or transformer in their luggage.

Overseas Travel and Electronics

Travelling for business purposes usually means taking a variety of electronic equipment. Business travelers often take computers or other essential equipment to prepare for the conference they may be attending.  Vacationers take hair dryers, electric razors and electronic equipment to play games or listen to music.

Voltage Differences between Different Countries

Those who travel regularly know that there are huge differences between the electrical voltages supplied between countries.  Some countries provide 110 volt electrical supplies, while others provide voltage that is 240 volts.

The Frustration of Equipment Not Working

Arriving in a country with electrical equipment and not being able to use it due to voltage differences can be very disheartening and even frustrating.   Packing a voltage converter and foreign plug adaptor is essential when carrying electronic equipment.

Converters and Adaptors

Deluxe automatic voltage regulators are superior converters that provide automatic and safe correction of voltage delivered to electrical equipment that meet the voltage requirements of the computer or other electrical equipment.   

International adaptor plugs are selected to suit the plug shape of the country of destination. Whether a plug is angled, straight, two pronged or three pronged, correct selection of the plug type will enable the transformer to be plugged into the wall socket and supply the correct voltage.

Leaving Home without a Converter

It is easier to purchase converters and adaptors in the country of origin, rather than the country of destination.   Many travelers know the frustration of finding their equipment does not work and being unable to find a suitable plug or converter for their equipment.  Shops and electronic stores usually carry international adaptors and convertors and plugs in stock and buying them well ahead of travel dates is sensible.

Online and store front retailers can provide the necessary advice and purchase assistance to customers, This advice enables the customer to buy the most suitable voltage converter, transformer or foreign adaptor plug necessary for the equipment they’re carrying overseas.
