Please be aware that whilst a travel adaptor will allow you to physically plug a UK 3 pin plug into a different socket it will not change the voltage or frequency of the supply. Voltage - The mains voltage in Italy is 230 V which is compatible with all UK appliances (UK voltage is currently specified as 230 V +10% / - 6%). Frequency - The frequency in Italy is 50 Hz which is the same as the UK.
Swiss Power Adapter. Jun 23, 2008, 10:15 PM. I'm having a heck of a time finding a proper swiss power adapter. I want to bring my laptop and my wife enjoys her hair tools.... Some people say you'll find the common European plug where wikipedia says the swiss use their own plug. A search of the forums here got me similar information. I found the apple convertor for my laptop and then found in the reviews it doesnt work in Switzerland.
