Learn about voltage and frequency in the USA

All electrical outlets in the USA provide a standard voltage of 120V with a standard frequency of 60Hz. To use your device in the USA, the outlet voltage in your country should be between 100V and 127V. 

However, you should also be aware of the frequency difference between Vietnam and the USA before plugging in your device. Typically, the fine print on the device or adapter will indicate the voltage range it can operate on. 

For example: If you see information like “100-240V 50/60Hz” printed on the device, it means that the adapter or device can operate on any power source worldwide. However, note that the adapter only converts the plug type and does not change the voltage.

Specifications for using power adapters when traveling in the USA

Can travel power adapters from other countries be used in the USA?

No, you cannot use travel chargers from other countries in the USA without any suitable adapter. The USA uses a different socket and voltage standard compared to many other countries around the world.

In the USA, the voltage system is 120V and the frequency is 60Hz. Therefore, you need a plug adapter to adjust your device’s plug from your national standard to the American standard. This adapter will convert the USA’s 120V voltage and adjust the plug to fit the US power socket.

Note that using plug adapters only applies to plug and voltage conversion. You still need to check the compatibility of the device with the voltage and frequency in the USA. Some devices may not be compatible or may not operate correctly without dual voltage support.
