The power converter is not enough at times s

The power converter is not enough at times s   Just because you have packed your handy power converter do not be too confident that all your electrical problems are solved. Electronic devices (CD players, stereos, VCRs) require a voltage transformer, instead of a converter. Single-volt electronics products for a specific need to sinusoidal work. An AC power adapter to keep the quality of the sine wave, while an AC power converter won? T, and therefore damage the electronic circuit. Fortunately many dual voltage converters include a built in transformer. Another thing that you want to factor is the difference in Hertz (50 and 60 Hz). Even with a converter for travel, AC motors brought from North America (60 Hz) for Europe (50Hz) will run more slowly. In some cases, such as a hair dryer or electric shaver, won the difference? No notice was provided and when you use the AC voltage converter must be very smooth. However, other devices like CD players and tape or electric clocks, even with the use of their travel voltage converter is not working properly. These devices, which operate in 5 / 6 normal speed will be significantly slower (for example, the music is played slower and clocks losing time). When purchasing your voltage converter suggest purchasing a battery for a trip clock.Some things, even with an AC power converter won? Do not work at all. For example, do not bother bringing a television with you. While being able to overcome the differences of electricity with a voltage converter still only receive rolling static as the transmission of signals in Europe and North America are different. Another thing to worry about the wiring is old. Bad wiring will defeat a transformer or a converter every time. Many of the older European hotels have older electric wiring and will not be able to support your 1000 watt travel iron. Fortunately most of the hotels are signs, however, if the lights start to flicker unplug your electrical device immediately.And, finally, be very careful with bathroom electric shaver socket. They are designed for low voltage electrical equipment (razors and toothbrushes) and are not for use with a hair dryer or curling iron.
