plug adapters - is Denmark different
 
I needed to get a new plug adapter to use for my battery chargers (with US plugs) in Europe. I've had several "kits" with multiple countries and they always seem to have just one for "Europe" (and different ones for the UK, Africia, etc) which I've used successfully in many countries. But in searching to get a new one I've discovered that Denmark seems to take a different one - and I'm going to Denmark. Does anyone know. I had just assumed Denmark was the same as Sweden, Germany, Spain, etc. since the "kits" I've had have never had a seperate one. Is it just for grounded plugs? Anyone know?

Denmark uses two round prongs like most of the rest of the Continent. Also, 230+/-10% volts and 50 Hz like all of the rest of Europe.

Non grounded plugs are fully compatible. (Euro-Plug). For grounded plugs Denmark (as well as Switzerland) use their own incompatible plug. You will need a Danish adapter.

Thanks. So if I'm OK with just using the non grounded then I can use the same type I've been using. Right? Thanks

Yes, that's correct.
