You have just connected your smartphone or laptop – otherwise known as your lifeline – into the main power supply at your campsite. There's a brief sign of life... and then your beloved device is blitzed by higher voltage than it can handle. Power inverters can save your appliances (and your sanity) while living in your caravan by adapting the voltage used.
Power converters are electronic devices that are able to convert power from one voltage to another, or from one type of power to another. This means that a wider range of power sources is now available to you.
Mains inverters allow you to use the power from your car, and to power USB devices. They also allow you to convert higher voltages to lower voltages to avoid overpowering. These devices often have circuit breakers built in so your devices don't suffer.
So don't ruin your holidays by frying your electronics – just remember to pack your power inverters instead.
