An adapter is needed to use a North American shaver in Europe. European outlets are a different size along with a different voltage that you shaver is rated for. An Adapter will take care of both of these problems.

What is the difference between an adapter and a converter when it comes to electrical devices?

An adapter is used to change the shape or size of a plug so it can fit into a different outlet, while a converter is used to change the voltage of the electricity being supplied to the device.


Can you change the 1 amp fuse on a shaver adapter to a higher voltage so you can use it with something else?

Changing a fuse size does not change the voltage output. An adapter is a transformer. The transformer in this adapter has a set of turn ratios determined by the manufacturer to produce a specific secondary voltage when inputted with a specific voltage. You may be able to use the adapter on another device but it has to conform to the specifications of the adapter as it now stands. The fuse protects the primary side of the adapters transformer so as to not overload the transformer. If the fuse is up sized then the risk of overloading the adapter becomes a possibility. This could burn the windings of the transformers secondary and render the adapter useless.

What is the difference between a travel converter and adapter, and which one should I use for my international trips?

A travel adapter is used to plug your electronic devices into different types of outlets around the world, while a travel converter is used to change the voltage of your devices to match the local voltage. For international trips, you may need both an adapter and a converter depending on the country you are visiting and the devices you are bringing. It is important to research the electrical standards of your destination to determine which one you need.
