 |
|
Hi all, I'm moving to Korea, from England, in a couple of weeks. I know i'll need a plug converter, but will I need a voltage converter as well?
From what i've read the voltage is the same (220-240) but figured i'd make sure... |

Voltage is the same but frequency is different (50hz and 60hz).
Your electronics should say on them if they can handle the different frequencies (now-a-days most of them can).
Your appliances like hairdryers and toasters don't care about frequency so you will be fine.
99.5% of your stuff will be fine with just a plug adapter. |
