Why do you need to take the transformer abroad?

At present, there are two kinds of indoor electricity voltages in the world, namely 100 V ~ 130 V and 220 ~ 240 v. 100V,1/kloc-0 ~130V belong to low voltage, such as the voltage in America and Japan. And the voltage on the ship, because its equipment is designed according to such low voltage, pay attention to safety; 220 ~ 240 V is called high voltage, including 220 V in China and 230 V in Britain and many European countries. The emphasis is on efficiency. When ordinary electrical appliances belonging to the same voltage system are used abroad, the voltage is generally not a problem, because most electrical appliances have a voltage floating range of 20%, such as electric stoves and rice cookers, because even in China, the highest voltage can sometimes reach 250 volts, so the voltage of 230 volts only makes them heat up faster, and there is not much problem.

For those electrical appliances with strict voltage requirements and relatively expensive prices, even if they belong to the same medium voltage system and have different voltages, it is recommended to use a tourist transformer to avoid burning out the electrical appliances and affecting their service life.

If you bring high-voltage electrical appliances to low-voltage countries, they will not be used in general. Even if it can barely be used, it is often like an old cow pulling a cart, or its function is greatly reduced.

It should be noted that many electrical appliances have their own adaptive voltage, which can be applied to the voltage of 1 10V-240V. For example, the floating range of Haier color TV is marked as: AC 90-260 V 50Hz, so they can be used as usual under the voltage of 90-260 V. You can look at your electrical appliance instruction board.

If you often go abroad, in order to prevent the electrical appliances you bring from being unusable abroad or causing losses due to different voltages, the general travel agency recommends that you bring your own travel adapter and travel transformer abroad.

The following is an overview:

100 volts is only applicable to 2 countries.

Japan and Korea

1 10 ~ 130 V about 30 countries.

China, Taiwan Province Province, USA, Canada, Panama, Cuba, Lebanon and Mexico.

220 ~ 230 V is about 120 country.

Britain, Germany, France, China, Singapore, Hong Kong (200V), Italy, Spain, Greece, Austria, Netherlands, Philippines, Thailand, Norway, Singapore, India, New Zealand and Australia.

Note: 1: In countries where the voltage is 220 ~ 230 V, there are also cases where the voltage of 1 10 ~ 130 V is combined according to regional needs, such as Sweden and Russia.
