Apple products, such as your iPhone, iPad and laptop, are dual voltage, therefore you do not need a converter. You can tell if you if your electronic device is dual voltage by looking on the voltage rating on the device.
They are not adapter but socket changers. USA voltage ia 110V and India voltage is between 210 to 230 volts. Also Sockets in India are different than in usa. You just need the socket pin and you are good to go.
A dual voltage device can accept both 110-120V and 220-240V. Luckily, many travel gadgets are dual voltage, so you'll only need a plug adapter, also called a travel adapter. Plug adapters do not convert electricity; converters do that, but you won't need one for a dual voltage device.
In India, the standard is 220 volt. If you connect a 220v appliances to the 110 volt power outlet in USA, it will damage it's electrical system and you may not be able to repair any more. The transmission in India uses video standard called "PAL". The standard in USA is different and is called "NTSC".
You will need a step up voltage converter a device that can be plugged to 120 volts and it provides an outlet with 230 volts for your India' device. You will need to pay attention to the maximum power output of the converter and the maximum power consumption of the device.
Your laptop and phone chargers are designed to operate at a voltage between 100 - 240 V. Your electric shaver on the other hand may not be able to handle the different voltages and will not work in the USA. This is from a phone charger. You should do this check for any electrical device you wish to carry.
You can use your electric appliances in Thailand, because the standard voltage (220 V) is (more or less) the same as in India (230 V). So you don't need a voltage converter in Thailand, when living in India.
The Type D electrical plug is also known as the Old British Plug. It has three large round pins in a triangular configuration, and may be found in countries that were originally electrified by the British.
In India the standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. You can use your electric appliances in India, because the standard voltage (230 V) is the same as in the United Kingdom. So you don't need a voltage converter in India, when living in the United Kingdom.
European two pin plugs are fine in Indian sockets. It will work fine. I have many appliances bought in Europe that work fine in India without the need for any adaptors. The only problem might be that the pins are too "thin" for Indian sockets - so you will have to fiddle a little to make sure they connect.

To charge the iPhone from an Indian power outlet you'll need a Type M USB power adapter and a USB to Apple 30 pin cable (Apple will typically include this USB cable with the iPhone). Begin the process by plugging the Type M USB power adapter into the wall supply.
Bring loose-fitting T-shirts, tunics and blouses with high necklines and long or short sleeves, and loose-fitting pants and ankle-length skirts in cool, lightweight fabrics like cotton. Pack a lightweight scarf to wear around your neck for extra modesty and to cover your head when visiting temples and mosques.
What you must pack for travel in India
- A backpack or day pack and carryon suitcase.
- A roller carryon or spinner suitcase.
- Very comfortable sturdy walking shoes.
- Walking sandals.
- Flip-flops.
- Swim suit.
- Deodorant, hair conditioner, tampons, sunscreen, Deet mosquito repellent.
- A sheet sleeping bag.
The Europlug is a flat, two-pole, round-pin domestic AC power plug, rated for voltages up to 250 V and currents up to 2.5 A. It is a compromise design intended to connect low-power Class II appliances safely to the many different forms of round-pin domestic power socket used across Europe.
In India, the standard is 220V, which is the same as in China, while it's 120V in the US. Most of the EU is on 220v-230V, as is the UK, Australia, and Singapore. Japan however uses 100V outlets.
No, iPhone's charger works both on 120 volt and 220 volt. You will just need a physical adapter to convert the US 2 prong to the UK style outlet. A plug adaptor is all you need, the charger itself can run on any voltage between 100 and 240. All you need is a physical adapter as shown above.
Start by plugging the Type C USB power adapter in the French power outlet. The power supply is identified by two holes adjacent to each other. Connect one end of the USB cable into the USB mains charger and the other end into the dock connector on the iPhone. The iPhone dock connector is found at bottom of the iPhone.
To charge the iPhone from the Chinese power outlet you will need to use a Type C USB power adapter and a USB to Apple 30 pin cable (typically already included with the device by Apple). Start the process by plugging the Type C USB power adapter into the power supply.
Apple's iPhone power adapter takes AC input that is between 100 Volt (The U.S. is typically 110 Volt) and 240 (Europe is typically 220 Volt) and lets out a nice regular stream of 5 or 10-volt power for the iPhone. So as long as you have a plug adapter, Apple has you covered for the voltage.
Ireland uses a large “G” electrical outlet with three square “prongs.” If your device is compatible with 220 volts, you simply need an adapter. There are several styles of universal adapters — many with prongs that flip out like a Swiss Army Knife to suit a variety of outlets.
The big difference between an adapter and a converter is electricity. While the purpose of an adapter is to simply help the plugs on your electronics fit into (or more aptly, adapt to the shape of) foreign outlets, a converter's job is to change the voltage found in an outlet to match that of your devices.
Charging the iPhone 6 in Thailand
Yes, you can use the iPhone 6 in Thailand by using a power convertor.If you want to charge your iPhone using a Greek power outlet you'll need to use a Type C USB power adapter and a USB to Apple 30 pin cable - Apple normally supply this USB cable when you buy the iPhone. Plug in the Type C USB power adapter in the power supply. Switch on the Greek power outlet.
If the line voltage at your home is 250v, then it is considered very high. You need to use voltage stabilizers to control the voltage to your electronic devices. In electrical machines, high voltages can lead to a higher than normal output till the time it gives way and breaks down.
Plug type A is the plug which has two flat parallel pins and plug type B is the plug which has two flat parallel pins and a grounding pin. USA operates on a 120V supply voltage and 60Hz.
If you are bringing a TV from USA to India, try to bring a TV that supports voltage range from 110 to 220. Very rare models are available that support the said range. Alternate option is to buy and bring a 110 volt TV and use it along with a step down transformer in India.
Current is a flow of electrical charge carriers, usually electrons or electron-deficient atoms. Physicists consider current to flow from relatively positive points to relatively negative points; this is called conventional current or Franklin current. Electrons, the most common charge carriers, are negatively charged.
What to wear in India:
- Scarves. I believe scarves are the number one item for any travelling wardrobe, in pretty much any country.
- Long skirts. I am a huge fan of long skirts when I travel to hot countries.
- Cotton blouses.
- Genie pants.
- Saris.
- Leggings.
- Shoes.
- Jewellery.
Packed food and tinned items should be ok. Fresh meat products are restricted.
If you plug an 110V appliance in 220V outlet (same as 120v to 230v, 240v) you can only hope that some protection device disconnects the power to the appliance. If you plug a 220V device into 110V outlet, it will normally last a little longer before it dies.
In short, an AC Adaptor converts the electric currents received by the electrical outlet into a typically lower alternating current that an electronic device can use. The first of the windings receives the 120-volt alternating current delivered to the electrical outlet, and creates an electric field in the iron core.
