FAQ:
- What is the difference between a travel converter and an adapter?
Whether or not you are a frequent traveller, you might come across the terms “travel converter” and “travel adapter”. Sure, both of them are used to power your electronic devices, but they have a significant difference: electricity.
The travel adapter’s job is to basically adapt your plugs to foreign outlets. In Malaysia, we use a three-pin plug, which is also used in the UK and more than 50 other countries worldwide – outside of these countries, you’ll need an adapter to fit your device’s plug into the socket.
As for travel converters, they are in charge of changing the electrical current. Most devices and appliances in Malaysia uses 240V standard voltage, while other countries may deviate from that. For example, the US’ supply voltage is 120V. If your device is not dual voltage, you will need a converter to allow the appliance to work safely.
