UK earthed plug in Japan?

Question:


I have bought a travel adapter for using my UK equipment in Japan. But my adapter forbids use with an earthed UK appliance. My netbook cable is earthed. Would a replacement Japanese cable work fine with a UK machine?

Answer:


don't worry and use the adapter you have.

The "earthed" plug is effectively useless on a laptop as your adapter is effectively switching AC voltage to DC voltage for the laptop to use.
