Finding a suitable voltage converter can be challenging. It is essential to be aware that not all converters can adjust the frequency of electricity, and using an incompatible voltage converter can pose several risks:

  • Overheating and Reduced Lifespan: Incorrect voltage may cause your devices to overheat, potentially damaging them and shortening their lifespan.

  • Unexpected Behavior: Devices might not operate correctly if the frequency does not match their design specifications. This is particularly risky for devices with motorized components or electronic chips, such as clocks, shavers, and medical equipment.

Caution Advised: If you choose to use your electronic devices without a compatible converter, do so at your own risk. It's particularly important to exercise caution with devices that rely heavily on correct voltage and frequency to operate safely.

Safe Practice Recommendation: To avoid these risks, it's advisable to always use a voltage converter that matches your device's specifications. This ensures safe operation and protects your devices while abroad.
