ADAPTORS

This power plug functions as described below and is suited to travellers from United.Kingdom visiting Europe and Scandinavia

.

Converts 3 pin (U.K. system) plugs and 2 pin shaver plugs for use with 2 pin sockets in rest of Europe.

All plugs safety tested and carry CE label for use in Europe.

The adaptors do not allow for voltage changes.

Fortunately, most portable computers today come with power supplies that can be used in almost any part of the world. Check the manufacturer's label to see what type of input it can handle.

Those designed with inbuilt converter circuits for use just about anywhere have a section on the label that looks something like this:

INPUT: AC 115V - 240V ~ 50 / 60 Hz 0.55-0.3A

This shows that the device was designed to be used over a wide range of voltage levels and at different electrical frequencies.

In this particular example (based on Toshiba), the computer can accept nominal voltage anywhere from 115 volts to 240 volts and can operate on either a 50 Hz or 60 Hz system.

It is designed for alternating current (AC). Like most appliances, it should not be used on a direct current (DC) system.

The information can also be verified via your computer manuel(Electrical specification) or the manufacturer.
