If i travel to a country e.g. U.K to Canada and i take my camcorder, camera charger, and other elctronic devices would a travel plug be sufficent? or woulod i need a step up / step down transformer? I used a electric fan heater together with a travel plug but it started to smell as if something was burning? i dont understand why this happened? and how i can resolve this issue if it happened again?
Good question! Many electronic devices these days have AC adapters that work on a wide range of voltages, and frequencies - typically 100 Volt - 220 Volts and 50 to 60 Hz. I think every domestic power system in the world uses power that falls within these ranges. Since the AC adapter can work on the wide range of powers, all you need is an travel plug to change the prong configuration from what you have to on your equipment to the local prong configuration. These plug adapters are simple and cheap. An assortment can be had for about $10.
Transformers are used to actually convert the local current to voltages and frequencies that are compatible with the requirements of your device. They are more involved and more expensive, and you have to buy one that can provide at least the number of watts your device uses.
If you are going to travel with a computer, cell phone, or other higher end device it's likely you'll only need a travel plug. Look at the specifications on your A/C adapter. If it can use a range of voltages and frequencies, you're in good shape.
