Guys, can I convert this to our 13A UK adapter and use locally? As I am planning to buy a small tea furnace from taobao with 16A adapter. Please advise

Just buy this lo

wait... what is the ampere or wattage of the 'tea furnace'??
its 16A plug. though i doubt it will need so high.

Not much info from the seller page, only this photo about the specs:-

2000W is about 8 -9 amps

ya go ahead. its ok. just cut it out and replace with our uk 3pin plug.
you may need to check the color of wire to match. sometimes confusing.

Sound idea. I use adapters only for low power devices.

Great, I will get it shipped and update here once it's converted.
Thank you for swift reply.

Cannot trust color code of wirings for appliances from China, best is to cut the china plug with a short length of cable and then use multimeter for continuity test to pinpoint the correct cables.

in this case is not a low power device. will melt.

actually is malaysia dint follow the international code of color. we still stuck on ryb
even singapore also updated to international.

cut and change to this 15a - https://shopee.com.my/MK-515-15AMP-3-Pin-Un...8987.6342897386

but you need to change to 15a socket too - https://shopee.com.my/Rank-Pesaro-15A-Socke...8987.5345256076

i was wondering if ts is buying the latest pot with induction boiler 2000w
rupanya this type..

janganlah.. its 2020. not 1980


key difference. tea should not use 100c water. only the modern boiler can set temperature.

Thanks for the recommendation, good for home user but I am looking for kopitiam usage.

Kopitiam uses gas, got constant pot of hot water
You use this hot plate, not even enough to cover the cost of electricity usage
