GOING AROUND WITH CYCLES
110/125 volt electricity is generated at 60 Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. Foreign 220/250 volt electricity is generated at 50 Hz (cycles) Alternating Current. The difference in cycles may cause the motor in a 60 Hz US appliance to operate slower when used on 50 Hz foreign electricity. It will cause clocks and timing circuits using Alternating Current as a timing base to keep incorrect time. NOTE: Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, computers, printers, VCR's, etc. will not be affected by the difference in cycles as these products internally adjust for cycle differences.
Transformers and converters will operate most products, which run either on 50 or 60 Hz, however, transformers and converters do not convert cycles. Products which are solely dependent on 60 Hz for speed control (clocks, turntables, etc.) will run slower operating at 50 Hz. Please check with the appliance manufacturer for proper use.

Click the Link at the left for a complete and up-to-date guide on voltage in foreign countries. In general, all references to 110V apply to the range from 100V-160V. References to 220V apply to the range from 200V-260V. Where 110/220V is indicated, voltage varies within the country, depending of the location. Also, adapter plugs may vary within the country.
