FAQ's
How do travel adapters work?
Travel adapters are simple devices that enable a user to plug any electronic device into walls with different sockets determined by a region of the world. On the one end adapter has prongs that fit the wall socket and at the other ends is a socket itself for a user device cable.
People confuse Travel Adapters and Travel Converters but it is important to remember that these are NOT the same thing. Converters are more complicated devices that convert a voltage. Adapters do not do it.
Is this travel adapter grounded or non-grounded?
No, this adapter is non-grounded which means it can be used with both two and three prong type sockets but do not secure device from electrical surges.
