Can I use a polarized US plug with this (when one of the two pins is bigger than the other)?

Yes, the outlet on the VCT converter is made for polarized US plugs. The unit is very large and heavy. I ended up getting the BESTEK 200W TravelAdapter and power converter at Amazon which is very light and much easier to pack, has three adapter plugs so you can use it all over the world and it has three US polarized plug outlets so you can plug in your laptop, cell phone and camera for charging at once or overnight and it also has 4 USB charging ports. Worked extremely well in UK and Ireland.

Hello Tyler, Thank you for your question, regarding to this product, if United State uses a rectangular- shaped two pin plug and power socket head is 2 whole then this product can fit with United States standard plug.However, if your power socket is different from i mentioned you can use power adapter, the adapter makes it possible to conect this product to other types of power sockets. Thank you Best regards, ThaiElephant

American plugs without polarized prongs fit. If you have a plug where one prong is wider and flanges it will not fit in this adapter.

It's about a 1/2" to wide; the connectors are polarized. It doesn't work with a 2 to 3 prong converter, either and they're slightly too long to work in a 1 to 3 socket adapter. A small power strip will work.

I assume one of the prongs is a bit larger (more square)? That is the modern polarity plug and sometimes they will not fit into old outlets. A couple-dollar adapter bought at any hardware store will cure your problem (take fixture with you so hardware store people know what you are talking about) or, you can update the outlet in your home that you want to use, with a new design outlet (not easy for untrained person to do and could be dangerous to try by yourself).

Plug is not polarized; it can go either direction in the outlet. The plug size is not a problem; I am able to plug other things in the other outlet.

I'm not sure how the right-angle plug affects the plug outlets. But you should be able to use both outlets that come with this kit.

Yes, if the ports are different sizes just get a converter which are dirt cheap on amazon. Enjoy!

No, it is not polarized. Most plugs have a wider prong then the other one. This does not, both prongs are the same.

Yes you can. Just don't get the polarity wrong or you could damage the unit.

I would assume that you couldn't. It has the standard two prong plug in for U.S. outlets.

The plug is a standard American plug. If you have a converter it would be fine.

Yes. I just checked and the plug is not polarized (one plug larger). Both prongs are same size. One could be installed upside down. The cord would be routed up rather than down but both AC Adapters can be pluged into a single duplex receptacle.

You need to make sure you use it's cable like brian4698 mentioned. It is not the standard polarity, so if you use any old cable that fits, you've reversed the polarity and can do damage to the unit.

Polarized or not, they are unsafe for use. Please keep in mind that these little jewels only make a three prong device "fit" into a two prong receptacle. That little tab does nothing to provide a ground circuit should the device short out or otherwise fail. The whole reason for the third prong is to prevent an electric shock. These devices circumvent that protective element allowing the surge of current to pass through you.

I agree with Rick; as long as you're using incandescent bulbs that total less than 300W and your adaptor fits the two prong, polarized outlet on the side, you should be fine.

Yes. Two large round pin plugs:http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/
