Subject: Re: Plug converter and voltage - Australia to Asia Posted on: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 04:58:14 +0000 (UTC)

hi , like joseph said, u don't need a voltage converter
just a universal plug type converter
electrical appliances are made for

1) 110v
2) 220-240v (mostly asia and europe)
3) 130v (japan)

so your stuff is certainly workable from 220-240 range.
