Why it’s best to use a voltage adapter, though if you’re in a crunch and need a quick, temporary solution…

These are dangerous to use in India as user will not have earthing protection. All adaptors and sockets available in India does not connect to earthing strip or holes of these plugs.

So sure it was off when I took the photos but then again could have just gotten confused. My mistake but the concept for getting this particular type to work is the same.

A few things:

1.U seem to have switched the plug ON.

2.That is not a typical Indian wall socket but a TypeM/D hybrid.The larger plug in India carries a 16A circuit which is used to connect ACs,Geysers,washing machines etc and the smaller carries a 6A circuit which is used for everything else that is rated @ 1300W or below.

3.Most Indian 6A plugs are either stand alone or Type C/D hybrids arranged in a similar manner but with 5 holes the two smaller ones being compatible with europlugs which is common throughout Europe.
