You need that box to convert the electricity from AC to AC or vice versa. The converter plug usually has a transformer box with an adapter in one piece. If not then you would have to buy an adapter to plug into the wall then plug your converter into the adapter then plug-in your US bought device. The reason why you would buy this is for your devices that don't have a box (i.e. your straightener). If you simply use an adapter with your American bought straightener then it'll blow up or do something else unpleasant.
Volt Converter Company is a leader among voltage converter manufacturer. Our main focus is creating the highest quality products. Volt Converter Company is an United States voltage converter maker located in Los Angeles. Our company concentrates on voltage converter design and voltage converter manufacture. The main products are voltage converter 110 to 220, 220v to 110v voltage converter, step up voltage converter, step down voltage converter and so on.
Sometimes the names for converters and adapters can get mixed up… The employee that I talked to told me that I would only need certain pieces for my computer and digital camera needs. Make sure that you talk to someone who knows which piece you should get.
The United States and Canada use 110-volt electricity, while most countries outside North America use 220-volt electricity. Unless your appliance is dual voltage, you need to use a voltage converter or a transformer to change the 220-volt electricity into 110-volt electricity in order to use a 110 volt appliance.
Remember this allows you plug in the plug but they do not convert the voltage, so make sure that your chargers are 230v/110v dual operation designs (most are). The battery charger is less likely to be dual voltage than the electronic chargers.
Our step up voltage converters and voltage transformers are designed for using equipment from the UK or Ireland in the USA. They have a 2 or 3 pin US power plug and a 3 pin UK socket or a three pin universal socket.
A voltage converter is an electric power conversion device which is used to change the electrical output of a power source. The most common use for these converters is to change the voltage from 220 volts down to 110 volts, or from 110 volts up to 220 volts. When an electronic device, appliance or power tool was built for a specific voltage which is not available, the only way the device can be used is by converting the power up or down to the correct level. The need for a voltage converter often arises for people who travel abroad or take overseas vacations and bring electronics along with them.
