Grounded Adapters
If you are traveling with a grounded United States dual/multi-voltage appliance or using a grounded Transformer you will need to use a grounded adaptor plug. A grounded United States plug has two flat blades and one round pin.
Cycles
Scotland (UK) operates on 220 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.
Converters
Going in Style adapters allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. Adapter plugs DO NOT convert voltage and only change the configuration of the pins. When voltage conversion is needed, use an electricity converter. An electricity converter changes the voltage input into your appliance. The United States electrical appliances operate on a lower current of 110-120 volts AC (Alternating Current). Most of the world operates on 220-240 volts AC. Therefore converter units enable your electronic and non-electronic appliances to run on foreign electricity (220-240 volts) to match the voltage requirements of your 110-120 volt device. Failure to run your appliance with a converter could damage your appliance.
Why do I need more than one type of adapter for traveling to one country?
Many countries will use more than one adapter plug and will have more than one type of wall outlet. This could be because the country borders changed location, the country was occupied by another country at some point in history, or a region of the country was influenced by its neighboring countries. Which kind of wall outlet you will encounter may depend on the region of the country, whether you are staying in an old building or a newer building, or whether your hotel primarily caters to tourists. If you want to know which wall outlet the hotel you will be staying in has, simply call the hotel and ask.
