The adapter that fits the plug does not convert voltage. Do not plug in a high-power device without reading the input range on the device label.

The travel adapter only fits the plug shape into the outlet. Voltage converter changes the electrical value. Although most phone and laptop chargers support a wide input range, it is necessary to check the label of each device separately.
High-powered hair dryers or styling devices are the group that causes the most problems. Using only with an adapter may damage the device or create a security risk.
Reading device label
Find the 'Input' line on the charger. If the range compatible with the voltage/frequency of the destination country is specified, a plug adapter may be sufficient. If it is a single value, do not use it without manufacturer's instructions.
