    Posso usare una striscia di potenza a 125 V con questo adattatore su prese tedesche?

      Short answer No
      Long answer:
      you can do it but it will burn your house down

      For low power stuff this will work. But make sure the devices you plug in can handle 240v, since this is what they will get.

      As that seems to be a mechanical adapter, you will use the power strip and the devices you plug into it with 230V instead of 125V . This is very out of the specifications.

      Don’t do this

      The main question is if your devices can handle 230V. Laptop and phone chargers usually can, but many others not!

      You can, but you probably shouldn’t. The power strip is designed for 125V, not for 230V.

      Not with this adapter, no. You can use a transformer to regulate voltage down to 125v, then it should be fine. Make sure all parts are rated for the wattage your attached devices will consume.

      Hahahaha I tried plugging in a sunlight lamp from America into a rig like this and that bastard exploded right in front of me so don’t fucking do this. On cruise ships when you’re just plugging in phones? Yeah ok

      In theory the devices will be drawing lower current than the socket is designed for as long as they can handle the higher voltage, but I still wouldn’t.

      When we moved to the UK from Germany we put British plugs on all the trailing sockets but the voltage is the same and our plugs gave fuses in them for extra protection

      All compact cheap devices don’t have any power converters in them. This strip is nothing but a bunch of organized wires in a casing.

      **YOU NEED A [POWER CONVERTER](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/2000-Voltage-Converter-Transformer-Sockets/dp/B0DFH4DJ5X)** if you want to run devices designed for another grid.

      USA runs on 120V @ 60Hz. Most of the other world runs on 240V @ 50Hz.

      Any device that you plug in, has to either:

      1. Support 240V @ 50Hz, which is what the grid supplies
      2. Be plugged into a power converter that outputs something that the device supports.

      The shape of the plug is supposed to only be a fool’s guard, a hint that they are incompatible standards. Putting in a 1€ adapter in the middle **does nothing** to change the current.

      What *might* work, are **some** AC->DC power adapters like phone chargers. Everything else, at best, will just not work, or most likely just immediately break down its power supply, or in worse cases – destroy the device entirely.

      I mean it should work, but depending on how powerful are the appliences you are connecting, it might overheat and melt.

      For example, do not connect anything that generates heat like, dishwashers, hairdtiers, heating blankets etc.

      I would only use for small things like, phone recharger, led lamps, then it should be fine, even a small tv or laptop should be okay.

      The problem is not the adapter, its the voltage, the wire resistency is probably different between 127v and 220v
