Using electrical goods from Europe in the UK..?
Hi all
I'm in the UK and have just got a new (musical) keyboard from Ebay that was sent from Belgium. I've just discovered it's got completely different power needs - it uses 220 volts and has a 2-pronged plug that looks like one that comes with electric razors. I've been advised that it will be ok to simply use a razor adaptor or even to cut off the plug and attach a normal plug with a 3 amp fuse. Can someone confirm if this is true as this is an expensive piece of kit and I don't want to blow it up!! cheers |
