Although devices of both categories run on electricity, electronic devices often require transformers with special outputs, such as a power converter that accepts an input of 110 to 120 volts and SMPS adapter gives an output of only 220 volts. Devices with electronic circuits or chips, such as clock radios, battery chargers and computers, should be used for short periods, preferably for less than three hours. Prolonged plugging in of these electronic devices can cause excessive heat and fire.
Meanwhile, electrical devices that provide simple heating functions, such as a flat-iron, water heater or hair dryer, are used with a converter or transformer with an attached valve for more than an hour. Required. Sockets available in hotel and inn bathrooms in European countries are probably labelled as 24 220 to 240 volt AC, but were designed for use with low wattage devices such as shavers and electric toothbrushes. Which requires about five to ten votes?
The open frame SMPS are not suitable for use with long hair dryers, travel irons or phone chargers.If you want to know if your device is dual-voltage, just look at its package labelled 120/240 or look at its plug for any raised electrical information.
