Sorry, none of the plugs used in both countries are common. You will need to pay attention to the maximum power output of the converter and the maximum power consumption of the device. You will need a step up voltage converter a device that can be plugged to 120 volts and it provides an outlet with 220 volts for your South Korea' device. usb chargers, laptop chargers, etc.Ī hair-dryer can consume up to 2000 Watts, like the one in the picture above, due to the high power they usually work in one voltage system this one is suitable for 220-240 Volts systems. On the contrary, modern low-power devices are likely to auto-detect and auto-adapt to different voltages i.e. anything that its main purpose involves generating heat (or cold) like hair driers, baby bottle warmers, kettles, etc. High-power devices don't usually handle different voltages due to the high-currents involved i.e. Connecting electronics to the wrong voltage, in the luckiest of the cases, the device will break or stop working temporarily but please don't take this lightly, in the worst of the cases electrocution and fire hazards are a real possibility.Īn automatic power supply suitable from 100 Volts to 240 Volts.
