Using a 2 Pin Adaptor
If you have an Australian or New Zealand plug and don’t want to use a 2 pin adaptor, you can use a 3 pin adaptor. The 3rd round pin in the plug indicates whether a device requires an earth connection, but most electronics do not need an earth. A 3 pin adaptor will allow you to use your device safely in the country you’re visiting. The replacement plugs are cheap and widely available.
2 Pin Sockets are Safer
Safety is a concern when using a plug, and two pin adaptor sockets are a safer choice than three pin. Safety is compromised by the fact that the pins of the plug do not make full contact with the socket’s surface. A universal socket is difficult to design, and compromises safety in many ways. The possibility of an arcing fire is increased, and the plug may not stay in place, causing serious safety concerns.
The type A plug has exposed metal and is un-grounded. Its safety features include a recessed design and insulation that reduces exposure to energised metal. Some sockets also feature automatic shutters to prevent insertion of objects and contain fuses or switches to limit the risk of an electric shock or electrical fire. A recessed socket is also safer than one with two prongs. The safety lid is more difficult to remove and is often shaped to prevent accidental insertion.
2 Pin Shaver Plug is Closer Together than 2 Pin European Mains Adaptor
If you are travelling to another country and need an adaptor for your shaver, you can use a 3 pin adaptor. However, you need to purchase an appropriate adaptor for your home country. Fortunately, there are several high-quality adaptors available for both types of plugs. You can find good quality ones from TC Travel and Gadget Hut.
Replacement Plugs are Readily Available and Inexpensive
The most common types of plugs that fit into a 2 pin adaptor are the Type A, Type C, and Type G. These are characterised by slanted pins, and can be used in ninety percent of the world. You can find 2 pin adaptor replacement plugs that fit in any power source, including those that work in countries like Uruguay and China. Most adaptors are cheap and readily available, but you may want to invest in the proper polarity first.
Celtics Black adaptors are the best value for the money. They are a bit more bulky than the Celtics Black versions, but they are remarkably durable and compact. Most wall warts will automatically convert the voltage on the charger to the correct voltage. However, this type of adaptor isn’t for everyone. They may also wobble, depending on the model of the device you’re using, so make sure you get a solid connection.
