Check if your appliance is compatible with the voltages used in Netherlands
The voltage, 127V, is used in parts of Netherlands but not in China, Peoples Republic of.
Some appliances are compatible with multiple voltages. To find out if your appliance is one of them, check the appliance label and/or instruction booklet. An example appliance label is below.
See examples of appliance labels
Is your appliance compatible with the voltages used in Netherlands (230V, 127V and 220V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, and you wish to use it in parts of Netherlands where this voltage is present, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Netherlands.
The voltage, 230V, which is also present in China, Peoples Republic of, is not exactly the same to what's used in Netherlands, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer when using sockets with this voltage. Be sure to carefully check the voltage before using your appliance in sockets in Netherlands. You may need to ask a local resident, an electrician, or the local government to find out in situations when the power sockets are not labelled with their voltages.
The frequency found in China, Peoples Republic of and Netherlands is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
