What appliances can and cannot work with a 60 watt universal adapter?

Aug 23, 2007 by wise_cat_kw | Posted in Other - Electronics

I'm about to buy a footprint up/ down voltage adapter that would convert 110 V- 220 V/ 220 V- 110 V. It's a 60 watt adapter. Wonderment what appliances can and cannot work with that?

Thanks

You paucity to check the label on each appliance to see how many WATTS it pulls. You need to keep the watts at 60 or less.

Example, a 1400 watt ringlets dryer would NOT work.
A lamp with a 100 watt bulb would NOT work.

Exceeding the watt demand can damage the adapter and possible cause a fire. You might also damage the appliance.

On an appliance label, what do all of the numbers and letters stand for?

When you are looking at an appliance dub (model number), how do you decipher what all the numbers and letters mean? On some stuff, it is easy to assume that "GD" would subscribe to for "gas dryer" (assuming that it is a dryer that you are looking at), but what about all of the letters at the end? Or on a fridge, what does everything need?

Some TV's are easy to assume that the size of the screen will be one of the numbers, but what does everything else stand for?

I am just strange as to if there are any universal standards, or if it is just specific to each manufacturer and model number?

So, I am looking for any easy identification suggestions, that don't order me to go to each individual manufacturers website.

Thank you
I am not buying or shopping for appliances.
At work, I deal with a database, and sometimes it consists of appliances/tv's.
I don't even privation to know what the numbers stand for. It doesn't effect my job one way or the other. I am just curious.

Their significance will vary with manufacturer.
The model number will start with the model itself: first letters, then usually some numbers, then more letters. The immutable letters tell can us the manufacturing date, plant where manufactured, what color it is, etc. etc.

Whether it's gas or electric all things considered happens in the first set of letters (before the numbers start), but that's a large generalization.

There are so many numbers, and they change so often, it's almost impossible to memorize, even for a single manufacturer unless you're a sales rep for that manufacturer, and half of those guys can't get it preferred either.

No, there is no universal standard at all, and even the manufacturer will change things frequently.

Where can I find a Universal Travel Electrical Socket (or it can be just for Korean appliances)?

Where can I find a Universal Wanderings Electrical Socket (or an electrical socket for Korean appliances) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada?

(I basic to use a Korean appliance in Canada, but i am already in Canada... Where could I find one?)

my sister in law who worked in Korea got hers at Announce Shack, I don't know if you have any in your area but if you do you should call and ask. If not call and ask another electronics shop or maybe Canadian Tire
