Where do I need a travel adapter?
Travel adapters are often used when travelling to countries with different socket systems, as different plug types are used in many countries. In Germany, for example, there is the so-called earthing contact plug (type F), while a different type of plug is used in the USA. The correct socket adapter for the country you are travelling to has a socket for the appliance, while the plug shape fits into the socket of the respective country.
Appliances with the so-called Euro plug are unproblematic when travelling within Europe, as this is compatible with the sockets of most European countries. The Euro plug is often used for low-power appliances.
Z. However, a special adapter is required in the United Kingdom, for example, where the plug system corresponds to type G. No Euro plug will fit into the socket there either. It is important to check in advance which countries require an adapter in order to avoid unpleasant surprises at your destination.
