Great pic S/E!

I’m saving it, m’kay?

Hey, is it true that electrical outlets are different in England from America’s electrical outlets? Does one need to use a converter device of some sort to plug stuff in if brought over?
Always wondered if that is true, or not.

Your domestic supply is 110 volts ours is about 220 volts.

So yes you need a transformer

Some appliances are due voltage though I have a battery charger which covers from 100 volts to 240 volts and runs on 50 or 60 Hertz (cycles).

You would need a travel adapter though to use this in various parts of the world as some countries have round prongs others 2 pin plugs or as in the case of the UK 3 pin plugs.
