Default Plug converter and voltage - Australia to Asia

hi , like joseph said, u don't need a voltage converter
just a universal plug type converter
electrical appliances are made for

1) 110v
2) 220-240v (mostly asia and europe)
3) 130v (japan)

so your stuff is certainly workable from 220-240 range.
