I frequently am asked "when going abroad, do I need a converter or an adapter or both?"
What is a power converter?
A converter takes energy from the wall in one format and turns it into another. So, in Argentina the power is 220-240v, 50 Hz, AC. That means the voltage is 220 to 240 and it comes in 50 alternating cycles per second. For comparison the United States of America is 120 volts at 60hz. You can see different standard power measure from around the world at http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm
Now, will that work for you? Most electrical products should say in tiny little writing something like
Input: 100-240v, 50-60hz.
Output: 6.5-18.5v, 4.6A max.
