What sort of power adapter do I need to use Norwegian electronics in UK
I am going from Norway to UK for a 4 year long university course. I think the power socket is different to the one used here in Norway.
Can somebody give a link (amazon.co.uk) to the power adapter I will need to buy in order to charge my Norwegian laptop etc.
Best Answer
The thing you have to watch with bringing appliances with french and german style plugs into the UK is that most readilly available "visitor" adaptors will connect the live and neutral but not the earth.
Also adaptors bought from dodgy sellers (in particular the likes of amazon marketplace) may well lack the fuse that is considered an important safety component in UK wiring.
Ideally you want an adaptor that is specifically designed for the job. These are a bit harder to find but can be found easilly enough online.
Another thing that may be worth considering is bringing a power strip with you and replacing the plug on it.
