Electrical reference for travel
Know the outlet.
Check your device.
Look up 99 destinations, compare voltage and plug types, then screen the actual INPUT label before you pack.
Start with your destination
A plug shape never tells you the voltage. Use these profiles as a starting point and confirm your accommodation and device label.

Three checks before any purchase
1. AC input
Does the device’s INPUT voltage and frequency cover the supply where you will plug it in?
2. Connection
Does the adapter fit the actual wall socket and maintain protective earth if required?
3. Load
Are the device and every link in the connection chain within their AC rating and maker restrictions?
