Some UK electrical items can be used in the US, but as the UK voltages differs compared to the United States, others can’t or will need significant adaptation. The standard UK voltage is 240v, whereas the United States standard voltage is 120v. Devices that are dual-voltage work between 110v to 240v, making them suitable for both the UK and the Uni...
The differences between the electrical systems in the UK and the US system can be split into three different areas. As we previously mentioned, the main difference is the voltage of the systems. In the UK, the standard voltage used is 240V, while in the USA, their system uses 120V. This difference is crucial because electrical products are designed...
Assuming the voltage will work in the United States, it is easy to change plugs to US Type A or B, or alternatively to buy a travel adapter. You can also buy an extension lead adapter allowing a number of UK small appliances to be plugged in at the same time.
As you can see, the biggest difference between the two systems is in the voltage. Voltage is essentially the pressure that an electric charge is pushed through a conducting loop. When an electric device is manufactured, it is made to work within a range of voltages. For example, some devices may say “200V-230V” on them and this tells us that the de...
To find the voltage requirements of an electrical device, the first step is to look at the device itself. Many manufacturers will label their appliances with the requirements in the same way as the example above. Some other appliances may label them differently, such as laptops. On these devices, you may find the voltage displayed as “Input [Number...
Just because your current appliances may not fit the North American voltage system does not mean that you have to leave them behind. There are ways that you can convert your UK appliances to fit the US system, using an aptly named voltage converter. A voltage converter is a small device that can change the voltage – or ‘pressure’ – either up or dow...
Sometimes it is not worth taking your appliances with you because buying a brand-new US appliance is cheaper, especially when considering the shipping costs involved. However, the decision to take the appliance or leave it behind will depend on the type of appliance it is. The general rule of thumb is that dual voltage appliances that work in both ...
Shipping your UK television to the US will not be worth the trouble and headaches that go with it, unless it is dual voltage. Some modern televisions such as Samsung Multisystem TVs are designed to be used in a number of different countries. If your TV is not dual voltage, the process of making it work in the US can be complex, expensive and not gu...
Laptops have been made to be used around the world, which is why they are often dual voltage appliances. This means you will likely see that their voltage reading is 100-240V and made for both continents. Similarly, you will also see that the frequency of the devices covers both the UK and US systems at 50-60Hz. In these instances, you will only ne...
Your UK-bought Xbox or PlayStation may also have dual voltage and is therefore worth relocating from the UK to the US with you. You will just need a US outlet adapter to make it work in this case, but may want to have the plug changed by a qualified electrician if you use it frequently. Again, before making a decision check the voltage requirements...
