Hello. I do not recall the type plus of this model. I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my sister last year and did not use it, myself. Yes - I am in the USA, and my sister, who is also in the USA, indicated she used and liked the item.

I bought this in the United States. In the US, lighting and low-power appliances run at 120 volts plus or minus 10%; meaning 108 volts to 132 volts at 60 cycles per second called hertz (Hz). Most of Europe, Africa, Asia, *Australia*, New Zealand and most of South America use a supply that is within 6% of 230 V. Japan, Taiwan, North America and some parts of northern South America use a voltage between 100 and 127 V. This equipment can be used in most parts of the world with the aid of an adapter or a change to the equipment's connection plug for your specific country. But for absolute safety, be sure to check with a local electrician and tell him/her that you might be buying an appliance that runs at this power rating and what do you need to run it at your home?

The manufacturer of this product suggest that only one unit to an outlet, because your outlet's circuit breaker for that plug outlet may not berated for that much wattage. Plugging two of these units may cause your circuit breaker to trip or over heat. Or if you have fuse they may over load and blow.

On the back of the box it says under "Electrical Ratings": 15A 120V, 60HZ 1800W. I don't see 240V mentioned anywhere. On the back of the unit, on the impossible to read white raised letters, it also only lists 120V. I think in theory a power strip is simply extending any power coming in. It seems like almost all this stuff is made for the world market and i would bet they sell the exact same device oversea's with different plugs and it works fine. I'd be tempted to go ahead and use it, but you're on your own. The maximum spike current is 12,000A, I don't know what amperage is used on a 240V system, but I think it's less than the US amperage. I'm liking it more and more as I use it. On the back of the box it says under "Electrical Ratings": 15A 120V, 60HZ 1800W. I don't see 240V mentioned anywhere.

http://www.convertunits.com/from/mA/to/watt/voltHere is the conversion I found. The product only has marked 600 mA (milliamps). I ran the conversions and 600 mA came out to 0.6.watts. On the backside the info listed is:600 mAInput: 100/120VAC. 50/60Hz 0.3AmzxVout DC: 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12On the front in has a voltage selector that can be moved to any of the following:12V, 9V, 7.5V, 6V, 4.5V, 3VIt also has a selector on the side that goes from (+) to (-) for me it it toward the (+).I use mine for an old personal single CD player. I did not change any settings, I put on the size adapter I needed, plugged it in and it works great for me.I do not know what all this information means but I hope it help answer your question. http://www.convertunits.com/from/mA/to/watt/voltHere is the conversion I found.

Never been to NZ but all it does is provide 2 outlets from your current socket, so whatever you use in your current socket would work in this double outlet; it provides the same current as the single outlet, since the single outlet provides the energy for this unit, it just doubles the outlet from 1 to 2, same power.

You'll need an adapter. See if its for sale on a UK or other European web site. Probably cheaper to get an adapter that you can use with all of your U.S. appliances.

Everything you use the outlet for in Europe you will need an adapter. No need in a special one, just a simple basic adapter , that is what I used and had no problems.

IF you know an electrician or someone who has knowledge of electrical outlets, maybe that type of person would be the best person to ask. I live in the USA, and I've had zero problems with using this product. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you, but the best course IS to ask someone who has REAL knowledge about these sorts of things.

I am not an electrician nor do I know much about international electrical standards and their variances in usage. We used the directions and a "do it yourself" book. We took the unit out, and installed the exact same unit, replacing the wires and wire-nuts exactly the same way. The normal US standard is 120 and I plugged this into the wall into a "normal" outlet (but GFI), like a lamp. It was not directly wired into the wall.

You may use it only if you have a converter for the electrical current. You cannot plug and use American appliances without a converter (available at most travel stores).

This adaptor will plug into the wall in Ireland and Scotland with their 230 voltage. This adaptor does not convert the 230 voltage to 110 volt. You need to look at the plug on the appliance that you want to use. If the plug says input is "110/240" then that plug will take either 110 volt or 230 volt, and this adaptor will be fine with that appliance. However, if your plug says input is only 110 volt, then this adaptor will not work, since it does not convert the voltage from 230 to 110. So it all depends on what your appliance plug says it will take as input. If the appliance you want to use says only 110 volt input, you will need a different adaptor, one that also converts the voltage from 230 to 110.

The higher the AMP's & WATT's, the more power the surge protector can handle. I am a paranormal investigator & only need 3 small power cords hooked up so I didn't need the higher Amperage & Wattage. If you are plugging in a TV, computer, printer or other similar electronics, you may want to go with the higher #'s. Hope this helps. I am not an electrician but this is my understanding. Also, the 3 plugs are very close together so you may be forced to either just use 2 plugs at a time or buy a second surge protector. I lucked out, my 3 plugs are very narrow.

The plug can handle those wattages fine. It just may need a different adaptor because it's only two prongs that fit the typical American outlet. Hope this helps!

The outlet unit only takes one outlet. I often have another appliance in the other and there is plenty of space. I have been using for a week and still very happy with the performance.

Mine just has a standard plug for US. (whatever that is) I imagine if you purchase a conversion kit your could use it other places. I have not tried though.

This wattage is good for larger items like a UK TV, video machine, amplifier, etc. A smaller, 200W type converter would be ok - always get at least three times more wattage than you need as some items create a power surge when you first turn them on and can trip a transformer out. Hope that's some help.
