ADAPTER PLUGS |
|
|
|
You will also need to carry adapter plugs with you to fit the outlets in the
countries you're visiting. An adapter will allow you only to plug your
appliance into another type of outlet. It will not change the electrical
voltage. There are five main types of electrical plugs that are used about
95% of the time around the world. In the chart below these five types of
plugs are labeled A, B, C, D, E. Travelers will only need to carry four
adapters with them (B-E), if they are using U.S. appliances. |
|
|
|
ADAPTER A : The U.S. uses the familiar plug with 2 flat
parallel prongs. Also used in many countries including Canada, Mexico,
Guatemala, Jamaica and Venezuela. |
|
|
|
ADAPTER B : Has two round prongs and can be used in most
of the countries in continental Europe. |
|
|
|
ADAPTER C : Primarily in Australia; has 2 flat prongs
like A, but form a V-shape rather than being parallel. |
|
|
|
ADAPTER D : Has 3 prongs (2 flat, 1 rectangular) that
form a triangle; widely used in Great Britain. |
|
|
|
ADAPTER E : Similar to B except the 2 prongs are
oversized and round. |
