I tried plugging it into a two prong adapter, and then plugged the two prong into my outlet. My outlet is grounded since it is a 3 prong outlet, but not sure that would matter since two prong adapter doesn't have a ground plug. Anyway, that worked with no issues.

If I understand the question, I don't believe it will. My unit has only two prongs.

Sorry- I really don't know. The plug is 2 pronged with the right side prong being bigger than the left. Good luck!

I just looked at mine(which I bought here in Washington State USA) it only has a two prong plug for use with a 120v outlet. There is no ground prong so I would say an adapter might work if you can get one.

Yes, we've used a few items with two prongs without any problems. But make sure that whatever you're plugging in can handle the higher voltage. We use a transformer if the appliance/whatnot can only take 115V-120V range. Usually, laptops and the like can handle 115V-220V so all you need is an adapter.

I'm able to plug in a three prong (grounded extension cord) in the other outlet. It's a tight fit.

Not without an adapter. It is wired for a standard U.S. outlet. It has a two-prong grounded plug (the kind where one prong is bigger than the other). Is that what you mean? Regarding the capacity to be wired for 240, I do not know. But that would be double the power of a wall outlet in the U.S., where 240 is used only for water heaters, stoves and clothes driers and has an outlet of a different shape and size.

I am not 100% sure but if your adapter would allow for the conversion to a regular 110 outlet it should work. Hope this helps

only 2 prongs... No ground. I wouldn't use it for a high wattage bulb for example, a high pressure sodium lamp. Hope this helps.

no it will not,it has a plastic 3rd bottom prong for support,it use the top ones,not for two prong outlets.

Yes. It will test both 2 and 3 prong outlet. The 2 prong outlet will need an adapter that's available from Walmart or any hardware store for less than $1. The 2 prong outlet will show no ground.

Yes it can. If that is your only requirement, I'd recommend getting a "3-Prong to 2-Prong adapter" (search on Amazon) since that way you can ground the prong to the house ground via the outlet. It's safer and cheaper.

Physically you can plug the adapter into a 3 pole North American outlet. Of course, you will NOT have ground connection and protection.

Hey - ground wires are always a wise thing with electronics. You can get away with a 3 to 2 prong adapter.Life Suggestion - If your house only has two-pronged outlets, you can (if you are able or ask a knowledgable friend/family to help) replace an outlet with a grounded outlet and the grounding wire can be grounded into the housing of the outlet. Consult a knowledge handy person if you do not understand how to replace an outlet in a wall like this. AND ALWAYS TURN OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE OPENING OR INSPECTING AN OUTLET!If you are renting, you should give your landlord a hard time that they only have 2 prong outlets.

Hello Menachem, thank you for your question. The two prong AC adapter will fit into an outlet that services 110 / 220 volt.Kind Regards,RossGadgetsGo

Hey Melvin, it can be plugged into a grounded three prong electrical outlet, if the outlet has a round grounding port. Also, Google search for "Clint Ober Video's" he explains all about the grounding and checking outlets to make sure they are grounded back to earth. Also using a grounding rod works well.
