In order to understand why you have to voltage regulator when you travel, you must first understand voltage. Now Gechy Electric will tell you how to do it.

Firstly, The amount of volts emerging from wall outlets differs from country to country. There are two main voltages used worldwide, and they are 110V AC and 220V AC. (AC=alternating current)

US voltage: In America, the voltage (V) ranges from 110 to 120V, and therefore American-made products are built for this low range of volts.

International voltage: In most other countries, wall outlets use a range of 220 to 240 volts, and their products are designed to be compatible with this higher range.

When traveling between regions with differing voltage, you will need a plug adapter, a voltage converter, or a voltage transformer (or all three) in order to safely use your valued devices when you go abroad.

There are also 13 different plug outlets used around the world, so matching up your power plugs with foreign outlets is also a necessity. So, how do you determine what to use with your device to get it working overseas? You must first find out if your device is single or dual voltage by reading the power label. Let’s do a little deciphering.
