What Type Of Power Converter Should I Get For China For A Us-made Device?
I need to charge my computer while I’m in China. What sort of converter should I get to make sure that the prongs fit and the voltage and cycles are right? Are there any multi-port converters so I can charge my computer and another device at the same time?
I’ll link to the one I bought, it says it works in China. It’s worked very well throughout Europe.
the voltage in china is 220V.
you can buy this converter in china, you can find it in most of the markets( only costs you no more than 50 RMB, very cheap)
Get it in China. Go to Xhijiahui (assuming you are intrested in being in Shanghai) at the metro city shopping center. voltage should be in your computers power cord already (should have voltage adaptor) and can get either new power cord in China or plug adaptor. I suggest new power cord because I always lost the adaptor. Cost is 100 RMB,
all electricity in china is between 220v and 240v…….50 hz…….as compared to 120-240v……60 hz in the u.s. you can buy power adapters at all airports…….best buy, circuit city, etc. outlets in china have multiple configurations at each receptacle so your power converter can use more than one plug. it’s simple, easy and cheap to have a power converter, good luck…….
Check your power supply to see if it says 110v–220v. 50-60 cycles. many of the newer ones are, then you will only need a plug adapter. If not then you need to get a voltage converter with about a 50% higher output than your power supply requires.
