Hello all
Probably a stupid question, but Ive asked lots in the past so why stop
now.
My place in Spain will soon be built and we have a number of spare
appliances over here we would like to ship to Spain to use out there.
Is their electrical system the same as ours i.e. 230 Volts and could I
just connect a Spanish type plug up to the applicance and expect
everything to work? (Assuming the apartment has not been fitted out
with UK type sockets)
Simple answer = yes. (Not nec. TVs, & Videos etc but you might be lucky)
Think all europe is standardized on PAL except france, so even this
should work.
Have a mate in Italy who bought a satellite TV system, from sky and
installed it in tuscany. Sky still thinks he lives in East Anglia. Just
on the edge of the sky satellite footprint
I think much of spain is too....
There's a lot to be said for wiring it up UK style if you intend to stay
a long time as well.
Its actually better as a system.
But check regulations. However most latin countries are fairly relaxed -
just find out who to bribe.
