Would an extention lead work abroad?

BusinessStudent

Hello,

Im traveling across Asia soon and was wondering if one of these (http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/ma/masterplug-1m-4-way-individually-switched-extension-lead.jpg) would work abroad in Asia?

ie. If i plugged the 4 way extension lead into a travel adapter?

It would work fine. The only problem you might encounter is that some travel adapters are only designed for low to medium power devices and plugging a few things into the extension lead may well overload the adapter.

I just took an extension cord to Greece...it worked well, as we only had one plug in our room. Only problem was that a lot of devices would say the voltage was too low, and would take centuries to charge.

We always take a similar lead and cut off the UK plug and fix on a local one.

Thank you all for your help.

What about a roll extension lead? Would that work too?

Why would you want to take a roll extension lead (I assume you mean a wind up one on a reel) it would be bigger and heavier to carry and should only be used if completely unwound otherwise it would be prone to overheating
