Depending on the device you might be able to just get a socket converter plug, or you might need a voltage converter.

If you look on the device where the electric wire connects(or the power brick that plugs into the wall), there should be a label on it that says something along the lines of(I took this right off my laptops power brick):

Input: 100-240V ~ 1.7A 50-60Hz

Output: 18.5V - 3.5

For this case you can ignore the output listing, we are more interested in the fact that it says 100-240V input. This means that it will work with pretty much any wall outlet in the world as long as you get a socket converter to make it fit. These are pretty cheap, you can most likely get them online or at a Radioshack, hardware store, pharmacy, or somewhere with travel equipment.

If the label reads more like this you will need a voltage converter

Input: 220-240V ~ 1.7A 50-60Hz

Output: 18.5V - 3.5

Because this one says 220-240V it won't be able to suck enough voltage out of a regular socket here in the US without a voltage converter to make it possible. I don't know if you could get these at a Radioshack or a travel store, but you can definitely find them on the internet.

How far should exterior electrical wires be from windows?

Far enough away that no one can accidentally reach them from the window. Electrical transmission wires should never be touched, but they need to be brought in to a fuse or breaker box, usually in the basement for single dwellings or some closet for apartments.


If you plan to finish the basement of a 50 year old house do you need to upgrade the electricity from 100A service so that you can add 6 new outlets and dedicated circuits for appliances?

One thing to keep in mind when you talk of upgrading an electrical service. That is that a permit will have to be taken out, inspection made and the whole house will have to be brought up to current standards of the code. This could run into a large amount of money on a 50 year old house. Contact an electrical contractor for an estimate. A good contractor will not charge for this service. If there is a fee for this service move on to someone else as this guy will try to do things on the cheap and end up usually costing you more money. Consider a small 6 circuit sub panel if there are two spare circuit holes in the existing panel. This installation would be far less costly that a new service change. A new 200 amp service should be in the neighbourhood of $2000. That depends on what kind of appliance you plan on placing. 100 Amps sounds ample for 6 normal sockets if they are in parallel. For an item like a wasjher, dryer, oven etc.. you would need an independent circuit.
