The potential danger of using adapter plugs is that the user does not connect the ground wire as instructed to and this leaves the device connected into it unable to trip the breaker if a certain type of ground fault occurs on the device. Most adapter plugs have a ground wire that is supposed to be terminated under the face plate holding screw. This keeps the ground continues as the frame of the receptacle is grounded to the ground terminal in the junction box and the face plate screw uses the receptacle frame as its anchor point.

Is it ok to leave an ac adapter plugged in?
It really is not safe to leave a AC adapter plugged in. If not using I would unplug it.
Can a 12 volt 0.5 amp ac adapter substituted with a 7.5 volt 1 amp adapter?
No, it is not recommended to substitute a 12 volt 0.5 amp AC adapter with a 7.5 volt 1 amp adapter. The voltage and amperage ratings need to match the requirements of the device you are powering. Using a lower voltage adapter may not provide enough power, and using a higher voltage adapter can potentially damage the device.
Can you use a 12v halogen bulb with a 6v AC adapter - wattage is the same?
No, you cannot use a 12v halogen bulb with a 6v AC adapter. The voltage of the bulb must match the voltage of the adapter for them to work properly. Using a higher voltage bulb with a lower voltage adapter can cause the bulb to burn out or potentially damage the adapter.
Can you use a 13v 2.77 amp ac adapter in place of a 12v 3.0 amp ac adapter?
It is not recommended to use a higher voltage adapter than what is specified for your device. Using a 13V adapter instead of a 12V adapter may damage your device due to overvoltage. It is best to use the adapter with the exact voltage and current specifications that are recommended by the manufacturer.
What if I Used wrong ac adapter in electronic device?
If the AC adapter gives too little voltage, the electronic device will probably not work. If it gives too high a voltage, you will probably burn out the electronic device, which will have to be replaced or rewired. If the AC adapter is too weak (provides less milli-amperes than the device needs), the AC adapter can burn out. In summary, you need to check: (a) that the adapter should have the correct voltage, and (b) that it provides the required amount of milliamperes (or more) for the device.

Do Australian plugs work in Fiji?
No, Australian plugs do not work in Fiji without an adapter. Fiji uses Type I plugs, similar to those in Australia, but the voltage in Fiji is typically 240V, which is the same as Australia. However, it's essential to check the device’s voltage compatibility before plugging it in to avoid damage. Using a travel adapter will ensure your Australian devices can connect to the Fijian sockets.
