Voltage converter needed in Sweden?

In Sweden the standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz.

• You can’t use your electric appliances in Sweden without a voltage converter, because the standard voltage in Sweden (230 V) is higher than in the United States of America (120 V).

You can seriously damage your appliances. You need a voltage converter in Sweden! You can find voltage converters at Amazon. Because you also need a power plug adapter, you should consider a combined plug adapter/voltage converter.

Also the frequency in Sweden (50 Hz) differs from the frequency in the United States of America (60 Hz). You should use a voltage converter which also changes the frequency, but these are hard to find. If your converter can’t change the frequency, be warned! Be especially careful with moving, rotating and time related appliances like clocks, shavers and electric fan heaters.

To be sure, check the label on the appliance. Some appliances never need a converter. If the label states ‘INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz’ the appliance can be used in all countries in the world. This is common for chargers of tablets/laptops, photo cameras, cell phones, toothbrushes, etc.
