Before connecting equipment abroad

An adapter changes the physical connection. It does not automatically convert voltage or frequency.

  1. Identify the socket.Match the physical outlet with the Type A–O reference above.
  2. Read the input label.Confirm the appliance accepts the local voltage and frequency.
  3. Preserve grounding.Use an adapter or converter suitable for the equipment and its protective-earth requirements.

Reference scope: household and similar plug-and-socket systems. For formal national system details, consult IEC TR 60083 and current local requirements.
