Questions & Answers for Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adaptor (for MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro)

The Apple world travel kit doesn't work with all Chinese sockets. Some Chinese sockets will accept the US 2 prong plug (220V though). Other Chinese sockets will accept the Australian slanted 2 prong plug. Both of these are in the Apple world travel kit.

The trouble is that in many areas, the Chinese socket require a 3 prong plug that resembles the Australian slated 2 prong plug with an added 3rd prong for a ground. This type of socket works like the British or Hong Kong 3 prong sockets. The male ground plug must be slightly longer than the other two prongs. This longer ground prong is necessary to trip the protector that lets the other 2 male prongs enter the socket.

The Apple world travel kit doesn't provide an adapter for this type of socket. If that is the socket you need, you're better off using your US plug and buying an adapter in China.

Yes, your regular household outlets are generally 110V in North America. However if you travel (use the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit) to lets say UK for example, their plugs are 220V. You just switch the plug on the end of the power adapter for a UK style plug and your power adapter is ready to be plugged in, No converters are needed and Yes it is safe. Most Apple products have this feature.

The cord can be used for 125V only then, The plugs are best to use when travelling outside of North America.

Hope this helps :)

Don't buy a new brick, go to Apple.com or your local Apple store and buy this:
