Hallo allemaal,

Mijn nederlands is heeeeelll slecht zo ik ga mijn vraag in engels stellen...sorry! :|

We're waiting for our final answer for emigration within a month or two. We want to move everything in our house in a container by boat. I'd like to know if we can use all of our electric things in Australia without problems.

I know that in the netherlands the mains run on 220-230volts at 50 hertz and australia at 230-240 volts at 50 hertz. Will the 10 extra volts be a problem for all our things? (tv, vcr, stereo system, fitness aparatuur, gereedschap ect...)

Thanks,
Philippe
 
Ik hoop de je wel Nederlands kunt lezen !!

Nee, alle apparatuur is 1 op 1 over te zetten. Je moet alleen de stekkers vervangen.

Wat je ook kunt doen is wat Nederlandse stekkerdozen meenemen en hier al je stekkers insteken van alle apparaten die je hebt en alleen de stekker van de stekkerdoos vervangen.

Succes
 
Phillip,

To give you a short answer: no, that won't be a problem. I have used my laptop in Oz without any problem. Today's equipment do have a tiny device that takes care of those minimal differences. But you have to be aware that they use a different plug in Oz. So you can take some world-connectors with or you can cut all the wires and attach an Oz. plug, but from hear saying that can be difficult in some occasions.
 
Dank jullie wel voor de antwoorden,
Ik kan wel nederlands lezen en spreken maar somige dingen zijn best wel moeilijk om te vertalen voor mij. bijvoorbeeld (voltage conversion ??)

Markus,
I already did a working holiday in australia I was aware of this but thank you anyway. Laptops usually have a power supply that works between 110volts to 240volts so you can usually use them anywhere in the world, for tv's vcr's and others its a bit more complicated.
 
Actually all electric and electronic devices are made for 220-240 V AC Current.
There is a wide marging in the voltage, because they will probably also run on 200-220 V which sometime occurs if you live very remotelly. So no worries about the voltage!
