Voltage in Brazil??

Question

will it work in Brazil???

Hi everyone,

I bought clippers to take to Brazil with me but i just realised that the voltage in here is 240v and in Brazil is 110v, i know that i have to buy the universal plug, but would it work there even knowing that the voltage there is less??

Regards

Rich

Answer 1

No! an adapter is only to change the plug type.

Your clippers will run 1/2 speed!!! if it is 110v ac

Answer 2

Brazil=220volts

Answer 3

i was always too lazy to figure that stuff out...  

I thought  once i got there.. if i had a problem.. i'd solve them as they came.. heh.  so i never used any plug..  i just plugged everything right in.

i used my hair dier..  cell phone and a few other things.. with no probs =)

sorry i'm not much help heh

Answer 5

Here, in Brazil the voltage is different according the region. Generally the oldest cities have 110V and the new cities have 220V. This is the two voltages in Brazil.

240V, 127V are not used here.

Examples: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, Porto Alegre have 110V.

Florianopolis, Blumenau, Caxias do Sul have 220V.

Answer 6

just to complement: bahia has 220v too.
