European Travel Plug Adapter, what to look for


Recommended Posts

One thing to note..that style of two prong adapter doesn’t have a grounding path. The two prongs are for hot and neutral, so even though a three prong grounded US plug will fit, it’s not truly grounded. 
 

Also, it’s not a voltage converter, just an adapter.  US household electricity is 120v 60 hz  while most of Europe is 250v 50 hz. Most charging bricks nowadays will be fine because they are multi voltage.  Look at the fine print on them for 100-250v.  My Apple chargers all say this as well as my battery banks and electric razor. 
 

All that technical mumbo jumbo being said, that’s one of two adapters we’re bringing with us to Italy so we can charge our phones and iPads.
