Will any of my home theater components work when I move to China? International Plug Adapters?

Answer 1

Yes, you can buy international plug adaptors but they may deem to allow you to make a dangerous move? Why?

You see, the reason why manufacturers make different plug types for different models of their products is for the different market; not all countries uses the same voltage as your, as such, they can be hazardous if you plug in the same appliance at another country.

Just be safe:

- Make sure the voltage that your appliances can support is of that in another region

(Plugging an appliance that support 110V-140V to a wall socket of 220V - 240V will cause the transformer to explode and even causes fire, if the circuit breaker don't react quickly)

- Another one thing is the frequency of current, measured in Hz

- Take note about the power surges or spikes issue; some electronics may have been designed to be used in region where power supply is stable, as such one slight spikes can burn the whole unit down
