You know there is a voltage and frequency difference as well? Lamps need new bulbs.... some other appliances (esp with motors like hair dryers and blenders) can't be used at all on a different voltage / frequency.nina.bhatt wrote: ↑Tue, 04 Jan 2022 5:10 pmDear all
I am returning to the US. I have about 30 electrical appliances including lamps I would like to take home but the plus/sockets I have are for SG. Does anyone know of a professional who can help me switch the plug types. Happy to pay well to get someone reliable!
1. No need to change the cord. Only the plug (FYI the plug is the male bit, the socket is the female bit).nina.bhatt wrote: ↑Wed, 05 Jan 2022 8:37 amDear All
THANK YOU for the time and care given to respond. I am better educated now. I have two remaining questions:
1. Do I just need to replace the sockets or also the cord once I have ensured your feedback is incorporated
2. Is there someone or a highly reliable outfit here in SG that can help me with the switch outs? I heard there is an electrician at LIMs that does such switch outs. Can an ordinary electrician do the switch out reliably or is that risky? I don’t want to risk an electrical fire back in the US.
Thank you again
