Will it work in Rwanda (230V / 50Hz / Plug Types: C, J)? I want to protect my MacBook (power adapter allegedly handles 110-240V) from a power surge.

Update: It's been over a year now since I have been using it in Rwanda and so far so good. I haven't fried anything -don't know if there have been power surges or not but the electricity goes out daily here, and often several times a day on and off and I haven't had any problems that I know of with equipment being harmed. I mostly keep my laptop and phone charger plugged in and sometimes a lamp or rechargeable flashlight.

On second look, yes, I think it will FIT - but it's NOT a surge suppressor! Just a power strip!

Here's what they use in Rwanda: http://whatplug.info/from/usa/to/rwanda (Types A and B), so, no, I don't think this will work in Rwanda. Also, this is not a surge surpressor - just a power strip.

Sorry, I never used it in Rwanda, but it worked perfectly in England and Scotland.

Used it in Italy. Not Rwanda. Worked fine there. Not sure if I was ever hit with a surge, but used for Macbook, iPhones, iPad, and a CPAP machine. No issues.

OK, I'm striking out all over. It *is* a surge surpressor. (It's been a LONG time since that trip...) I used this in FRANCE - which uses a socket type E. The plug adapter site says that the plug (2 prongs) will fit into types C E F and L. The outlet you used would have to be a type C (flat) - not the funny recessed one (J). I know I took a cheap netbook with me, rather than my Mac. My Netbook survived the experience.

I am so sorry, I am not from Rwanda. I am from Angola and his capital is Luanda.

Find out if the particular location in Australia uses G Type outlets for the AC distribution. Then, if their power is delivered at 220 volts @ 50 Hz (which is common in the UK), these should work. Read your Apple charging adapters and they should say they accept a range of 110 to 220 volts and 50 to 60 Hz. All these little plug adapters do is let you plug your 2-prong US male AC plug into the 3-hole G Type AC outlet.

My adapter has the following text on its sticker:AC/DC Adapter Model KYT05150AInput 100-240V AC 50/60Hz 0.3A MaxOutput DC 5V/1.5AIt looks to me from that information that either voltage should work.

I can only answer on the unit I have (you will need to check the one you get) The power supply (part of the power plug) has written on it 120-240V 50/60 Hz. That means mine will work from 120 to 240v a/c at 50to 60 cycles per second (Hz) BUT.....The plug is not a UK/European plug and so an adapter will be required.I can say mine will work but you will have to check the power supply you receive with the unit. (You never know they may change the specifications so we have to buy a different power supply to use it overseas. That way we have to pay more.) G.F.H.

Yes, power adapter works in 110 to 240 range but you need special plug for your country, good luck.

Power adapter is 110~240V free voltage. Plug Type is C, Korean type. But US plug adapter will be offered by seller.

I'm from Norway but study in the states so I travel back and forth when I have vacation and you can just buy a cheap plug. The power brick takes care of all the voltage conversions. This applies to all laptops.

Yes it will work. I am in Africa and the voltage is 220 here as well and I use it for both voltages. It does NOT change the voltage - you electronic device must be for dual voltages which most are nowadays. The plug design is such that you can plug about anything into it.

The manufacturer also responded to this question with a "yes" on their website at http://www.360electrical.com/support/faqs/. I quoted the Q & A here for convenience:Can I use any of your products internationally with 220V - 240V?Yes. The PowerCurveMini™ mobile surge protector as well as all of our Quickcharge™ USB chargers have been specifically designed to work safely up to 240V. All you need to have is the correct international plug adapter.

Make sure the voltage is 220V. The plugs as show in picture as the same type as notebook adapter.

Yes. The device works on 100~240V, 50/60 Hz, on both outlet adapters. Have just checked them physically. Jose P. answered on December 1, 2013 Here is what I found from earlier answers.

I can't speak to either on personal experience. Specific locations may vary within a country. Try <www.walkabouttravelgear.com> as one source of information for adapters world wide. Refer to their " world-wide electrical index". Do be sure to check your appliances for compatibility with 220V power. That is a universal in Africa. Most new appliances are, but will burn up if they are not. Transformers and converters are available, and not cheap for reliable ones.

See! I shipped about three units of mine to Uganda where we are doing some community work and guess what? they use 240volts and it works perfectly. It is actually universal power supply, so you need not worry. The only thing about this great device is that don't let it fall down hard on a solid floor as the driver may unmount, that happened to me as I was using them on speaker stands but fixed with the help of my Aradite glue. Ok! bye for now

I have not used this in Africa but plan to use this in France in June. Dual voltage is important. I think it will work.

Most laptop power adapter has AC auto-range support. Simply check label on power adapter, if INPUT says 100-240V, then it supports worldwide AC input. The INPUT range must be specified on power adapter by regulation, so you can/should ALWAYS find this info on label. The actual plug type is whole different story, you may need to purchase plug converter for specific countries(Most hotel will provide free adapter rental though)

(This message is from the manufacturer) Thanks for asking ahead! The power adapter is rated for 100-240V (input), so it will handle the different input voltages world-wide. But note that physically, it's a US-style two-prong (NEMA 1-15) plug - so you'll just need a plug converter to make it fit the different international plug styles. Hope that helps. Thanks again!

Israel mains voltage is 230 V and the adapter works great for me. To my knowledge devices suitable for 220V or 230V also operate at 240VIt is important to pay attention to set the switch back into a 220 and use the left socket (which is intended for the -110 Input for conversion). I mention this because I understood the matter after one fuse burned in vain
