Grounded Electrical Adapter Plug for Australia and New Zealand. This electrical device allows you to connect a three-pin grounded plug to a two-pin electrical outlet in Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific Islands, and parts of China. The adapter is designed to be used with converters and 2 or 3 pin dual voltage appliances.
This adapter does not convert voltage, so it should only be used with appliances that can handle the voltage of the country in which it will be used. If you plug in an appliance that is not designed for the voltage of the country, you risk damaging the appliance and creating a safety hazard.
The grounded adapter plug has three flat pins, one of which is larger than the other two, and is compatible with both 2-pin and 3-pin plugs. The third pin is the grounding pin, which is used to protect you from electrical shock. When an appliance is plugged in and switched on, any excess electricity will be sent to the ground through the third pin instead of through your body.
Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific Islands, and parts of China use a unique type of electrical socket that is different from the sockets found in many other countries. Therefore, having a grounded adapter plug is essential if you plan to use any electronic devices or appliances while traveling to these countries.
It is important to note that this adapter does not convert voltage, so it should only be used with appliances that can handle the voltage of the country in which it will be used. If you are unsure whether your appliance can handle the voltage, you should check the manufacturer's instructions or consult a qualified electrician before using it.
In summary, if you are traveling to Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific Islands, or parts of China and plan to use electronic devices or appliances, it is essential to have a grounded adapter plug and a voltage appropriate converter for dual voltage appliances to ensure safe and efficient use of your electronics.
