Voltage in the USA

In the UK, we use sockets with a voltage of 230, while in the US it is 110V. Therefore, it is important to check your devices to see whether they can handle this voltage. You can find this information on your device’s original power adapter.

USB Ports

Many hotels today have USB(-C) sockets that allow you to charge your phone or any other device directly. Make sure that the device in question converts the US voltage (110V) correctly. It is often smarter to use the wall socket with a travel plug so you can be sure not to damage your device.

Voltage Converter

If your British appliance is not suitable for US voltage, you can use a converter. This often applies to hair appliances such as curling irons and hair dryers. A converter is a device that adjusts the voltage to ensure your device works.
