No matter where you are, it’s important that you never rely on the stability or dependability of the power supply. In some places we would suggest it is erratic and unpredictable at best. The bigger cities’ power supply tends to be a little more stable, while the more remote “outback” locations tend to be more unstable. How much the power can spike during a given day varies greatly from place to place. ![]() Even “electrical thievery” is common in India where poor locals steal the power by hooking their home electrical power line to the overhead city lines without paying for it! This is because the reliability of India’s power supply varies widely, from state to state, right across the country, due to lack of proper infrastructure and wiring. 2) India’s power supply is very unpredictableĪlthough outlets in India should run at 240V, power outages and power spikes are extremely common. One time it was so bad my entire arm was numb for a day!… I advise taking care at all times when plugging in or removing an item from an outlet. We have on multiple occasions, touched a live wire that we didn’t notice and got a nasty shock. In general, the electrical wiring in India is extremely unconventional and not something to be taken for granted as being safe. No transformer or converter is required to use these items in India-you just need the Hero Travel Supply Power Adapter that you have already wisely purchased.ġ) Beware of electrocution from dodgy wiring Some examples of dual-voltage devices include newer hair dryers, electric shavers, toothbrushes, irons, laptops, Kindles (as shown in the image), tablets, smartphones, cell phones, MP3 players, cameras and battery chargers. These devices are able to handle up to 240V, and are “safer” to bring to India. They are a fire hazard, and at best will break on your trip.ĭual-voltage devices have a larger voltage range, for example 110V/240V. If they are not rated at 240V don’t even bring these items with you. There should be a tag, compliance plate or stamp on the appliance letting you know the voltage compatibility (see example shown above). Some examples of single voltage appliances are older hair dryers and irons. They are able to handle small voltage fluctuations but will not be able to handle India’s 240V power supply-if used you will likely end up with a smoking piece of electronics! Single-voltage devices have a small voltage range (such as 100–120V). There are two main types of appliances and chargers available in the electronic world: those that use single-voltage and those that can accommodate dual-voltage. ![]()
