Please be aware that whilst a travel adaptor will allow you to physically plug a UK plug into a different socket it will not change the voltage or frequency of the supply.
Voltage - The mains voltage in United Kingdom is 230 V which is compatible with all UK appliances (UK voltage is currently specified as 230 V +10% / - 6%).
Frequency - The frequency in United Kingdom is 50 Hz which is the same as the UK.
Special considerations - "Voltage tolerance of 230 V +10%/-6% (216.2 V to 253 V), widened to 230 V ±10% (207 V to 253 V) in 2008. The system supply voltage remains centered on 240 V. [14] A "shaver socket" (similar to Type C) is sometimes found in bathrooms that will provide low current to some other plug types. These sometimes have a ~110 V socket and a ~240 V socket in the same unit, or a switch to select voltage for a single socket. The G type socket usually has an on-off switch. IEC 60309 plugs and connectors are used in industrial and construction locations as well as for outdoor use in domestic and other business premises. Plug types D and M were used until the 1960s and are still in preferred use for theatre and TV stage lighting applications due to lack of internal fuse."
This will help us to show you adaptors that will work with your domestic devices.
Tip: If you are not located in the UK or USA just click on the picture that shows your domestic plug or socket / outlet type and we'll know what you need.
Alternatively if we do not support your specific plug / socket types yet you can close this and view the site with default settings.
You can change your preference at any time by clicking on the flag icons at the top of the page.
