Does anyone know where I can find electric converters?

Question

I'm looking for a power strip or single converter that I can plug in while I'm in Australia that will let me use my electronics from the U.S. Any Ideas? Thanks

Answer 1

You have, I think, 240v AC in Australia. We have 120v AC in the US. You have 50Hz, we have 60Hz. But this frequency isn't important, only the voltage is.

First off, look at the fine print on the power supplies you're using right now. You may find that the devices will work perfectly well at 240v; many of the 'wall transformers' supplied for battery chargers will automatically adapt to the higher voltages.

While you can buy a 240v to 120v transformer--look for these at All Electronics Corp (use Google)--you'll likely be better off with separate adapters for each one.
