Navigating Voltage Differences: Essential Tips for Using US Electrical Items in the UK

Info

Traveling from the US to the UK?

It's essential to understand the differences in electrical systems to ensure your devices work properly.

The US operates on a 120V supply voltage and a frequency of 60Hz, while the UK uses 230V at 50Hz.

This significant voltage difference means that many US devices may not function safely in the UK without a voltage converter.

Furthermore, plug types differ:

the UK uses Type G plugs, featuring three rectangular prongs.

To use your US devices, you'll need a plug adapter.

Always check your device’s voltage rating; if it supports dual voltage (like 100-240V), you can simply use an adapter.

For devices that don’t, a voltage converter is necessary to avoid damage.

Plan ahead to keep your gadgets powered and stay connected on your travels! - https://ukfocusguide.com/blog/will-us-electrical-items-work-in-uk/?unique_id_sbslh5y9
