sorta OT power question for you world travelers
My Dell laptop power supply says that it will work on 100-240V, 50 or 60
Hz. Wikipedia sez http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets that Japanese receptacles, despite having 100V, 50Hz power are essentially identical to a NEMA 1-15. However, both "bricks" that I have use a 3-wire cord instead of a 2-wire like every other laptop I've had/used, and it's not clear to me if a grounding type Japanese JIS C 8303 recep is the same as a NEMA 5-15 or just "similar," or even if they are particularly common. Do I need to pack some kind of adapter plug thing? Or should I just get a cheater plug and carry that? Obviously, I have never been to Japan before... thanks nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |
