The voltage in the  United Kingdom is 230V. If your appliance is a single voltage rated appliance, it will need to operate at the same voltage as the UK 230V. If this is not the case it should be used alongside a voltage transformer or converter to allow the appliance to work safely and properly.

You can determine whether you’ll need to use a converter or transformer, by looking at the appliance rating plate. A dual voltage rated appliance will display for example ‘INPUT: 110-240V’ on the body of the appliance or its power supply. This means that you will not need a converter or transformer but just a travel adaptor, because United Kingdom operates on a 230V supply voltage, which is within the 110-240V range that the dual voltage appliance operates on
