  ABOUT ELECTRICITY

Gayther Resources - About Electricity
When travelling abroad, it is essential to understand the electrical voltage and hertz used at your chosen destination before plugging in any of your electrical devices. If you connect a device into an outlet designed for a higher or lower voltage without the current adapter being used, it could damage your device.

Our simple to use guide is designed to help you find out the electrical supply voltage, hertz and the types of electrical plug adapters required for your chosen destination quickly and easily.
