I will be traveling to India in the next month. I have my laptop, camera and other electrical equipments which will need to be charged. I have heard that the voltage in India is 220 V and not 110 V. All my appliances work at 110 V, how do I make it work in India?
Your laptop will probably work at either voltage - check the label on the external power supply. You may, however, need an adaptor for the outlet plug. For other equipment, you will need a stepdown transformer.
Plugging a 110v equipment to a 220v outlet will produce a dramatic exploration of the experience of sight, sound, scent and in all danger touch while you're in close touch to the device. The journey will end with a cry and an ensuing holiday to an electronics restore middle in case you value the precious equipment you have brought about to torment. any incorrect way around isn't as dramatic as above yet will result to a difficult sensation ending with a question as to why the appliance did no longer progression. whilst found out and corrected, the appliance will thankfully serve its purpose given the main suitable voltage to paintings on. If the authentic clarification for ineptitude isn't got here across, the appliance could be further yet mistakenly dropped on an identical electronics restore middle as above with an ensuing sensation of an inherent ability resembling a cucumber that must be observed via a boisterous mark of cachinnation.
There are some things that Radio Shack is good for. Converters for foreign travel is one of them. You'll need an adapter for the different plug configuration AND you'll need a voltage converter. Both are also available as a package. And a lot cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable than trying to build your own.
