 Most of the world operates on 220/250 Volts (V) alternating
current (AC) which is twice the voltage we use in the states.
This means that when appliances made for use here in America
(110/125V) are plugged into a foreign 220/225V outlet, the
motor goes twice as fast than it was designed to thus damaging
or burning out the appliance. It is necessary to convert
220/225V and step it down to 110/125V.
There
are several types of products for voltage conversion. The
conversion device traveler’s need on their international
trips depend on the type and wattage of the appliance being
taken overseas to a 220/225V country. Check your appliance’s
rating table for the wattage.
A way to determine the wattage is to multiply the voltage
by the amperage. (i.e. VoltsxAmps.=Watts).
