Hello,
Apologies if this information is available elsewhere in the forum.
I recently moved to UK from the States, and I have a London flat and have been happy using the standard 230V 3-prong outlets without any worries, because all I have are appliances that use the 3-prong plug standard. However, I just purchased a piece of computer networking equipment that uses a 2-prong plug, like a shaver.
I can't find anything about this type of plug anywhere. The only similar socket is in the bathroom, but that is not really a solution.
I don't think there are surge suppressors for this type of plug, at least not at the major DIY centers; wouldn't I need one? The plug itself can handle 230v and presumably the equipment itself can as well. Here are a couple of items from the manual:
Power Supply: DC 5V, switching type
Power consumption: 5 Watt (1000mA x 5V)
Will a shaver adapter do the trick, or are there any concerns with doing things with a shaver adapter? Sorry, I'm not electrically inclined. Any help appreciated!
