I've got the power!

or not? If you're coming from a country that uses anything but the "I" type of plug it's lights out for you.

I'm planning to take a couple of electrical appliances with me to Oz. The trick is they use a different voltage (240 Volts) and a different power plug (type I) than in Romania (230 Volts, type C and F plug). A worldwide electric guide list can shed some light in this aspect.

To close allow me to quote my friend that shared all this valuable info "So you would need a converter, which you can find in most airports or electrical stores."


Cheers!


Later edit: The comment from below is worth reading.
Much later edit: This information just came in from a trustworthy source. It turns out that the only difference between the power system here in Romania and the one in Australia is the type of plug.
