An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter).

These adaptor plugs enable your appliance's plug configuration to fit into India electrical power outlets. Adapter plugs allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter) unless your appliance is dual voltage. Check to see if your electric razor, battery charger, hair dryer or curling iron is dual voltage before leaving on your trip. Grounded adapter plugs maintain the ground from the electrical outlet to your appliance.

Many of our customers find it handy to have multiple adaptors while traveling - either to run several appliances simultaneously or simply as a backup.

Watch our video to learn how to charge your appliance when traveling to India. You will be able to see what the India outlet looks like. If you think you will need additional adapters for your trip, you can also purchase individual adapters.

Electrical Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

India operates on 220 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

Be sure to check each individual appliance to see if it is dual voltage.  You can watch Going In Style's video on how to check to see if your appliance is dual voltage.

Computers and Apple Products

If you are traveling overseas with a Toshiba, HP, Lenovo, Asus, laptop or Apple device such as an iPad, chances are you won’t need a voltage converter. Most laptops are multi-voltage and will operate on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts. However, computers do need to make safe connections to foreign power systems and a surge protector is recommended and you will still need an adapter to use your plug.  Read Going In Style's Blog Post about traveling with Apple products >> http://www.goinginstyle.net/news/2015/1/6/ipads-iphones-and-apple-products
