Double Adaptor

A Double Plug Adapter Can Make Your Life Easier

A double plug adapter can be extremely useful for any time you need to provide power to more devices in your home than your outlets can currently support. Unlike power boards or extension cords, they are small and inexpensive and do not have long cords to get in your way. If you are travelling to a different country with different electrical standards, they are a handy adapter for your personal devices while abroad; many affordable options are available on eBay.

A plug adapter is an electrical plug outlet adapter that lets you plug multiple devices into a single plug outlet, use a different country's electrical outlet configuration, or do both. It is a single unit with one or more outlets in its body. You can plug this unit into an existing single outlet and either use your incompatible devices or use more than one device from an electrical outlet. The most common types of plug adapters are double plug adapters that are simply used to increase the amount of devices you can plug into your walls. These adapters can easily be found on eBay.

If you are travelling to North America and Japan from the UK, Europe, Africa, Australia, South America, or Asia or vice versa, then you will most likely need some type of electrical outlet plug adapter in order to use your personal appliances safely. Hair dryers, phone chargers, and clothing irons are just some of the devices you may want to use while you are temporarily in a different country.

You can use double adapters in order to run multiple devices from a single wall outlet. Double adapters that have overload protection are safe to use, which is a requirement in some countries. Overload protection prevents overheating of the double adapter.

• Surge protection - Power boards may have surge protection to prevent devices from being harmed by sudden surges of electricity.
• Cost - Double plug adapters are less expensive than power boards.
