G+_George Kozi Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 This is ridiculous. After more than 100 years, we can't even agree on that...

G+_John Mink Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Joe Sears the frequency (50 vs 60 Hz) doesn't really matter. Almost everything is converting to 0Hz (DC) anyway. And these days, most wall outlets actually say 110-240VAC, meaning they can handle the change in voltage just fine. So most of these outlet adapters don't even need to change the voltage, just the physical plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
