Power converters to convert Spain and Italy to USA
So, in the USA, most of our electronics are powered by 110v AC at 60 Hz..
Spain, apparently, is like most of Europe. In Spain, electric power comes through at 220 volts and at 50 Hertz. Though similar to most of Europe, this differs from the 110-120 volts at 60 Hz North America electrical standard. Certain types of equipment from North America won't work properly if it does not have a built-in capability to work with 220 volt power supplies.
My MacBook Air has a power charger that says "45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter".
Jen's MacBook Air has a power adapter that says "60W MagSafe Power Adapter" with a MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter.
So, this site says that the Apple Power Supply is pretty much set up to convert anything from any country. All you need is the correct connector to the AC Power Adapter.
Italy is pretty much doing their own thing.
Apple has this World Traveler product that seems like it would do the trick.
