can i use this with a 2 prong to 3 prong adapter?

I use it to plug in my computer which is 3 prongs and also my lamps which are two. Normally, I use a grounded strip for the computer which has many places to plug into like for my printer, desk light etc. But when I move my computer to the living room, I use this GE grounded 3 outlet tap and it works great.

We think you need 2 Prong to 3 Prong Grounding Adapter, Amazon ASIN # B003XDF2H2 "Grounding Adaptor - 2 Pack"

You can get a 2/3 wire adapter but you are not getting the protection of a ground wire. Am not an electrician so that's the best I can do.

I don't think so. It has two flat prongs. You would need an adaptor and converter.

I believe any two prong plug will work in a 3 prong receptor, just not the other way around, i.e., a three prong plug will obviously not work in a 2 prong receptor. The third prong is merely a ground. So it's up to you if you feel it's safe.

Yes you can, but be careful, this adapter is very fragile and easy to break.

Yeah, you should be able to. Just make sure it is something with three prongs because this has ground prong

I tried plugging it into a two prong adapter, and then plugged the two prong into my outlet. My outlet is grounded since it is a 3 prong outlet, but not sure that would matter since two prong adapter doesn't have a ground plug. Anyway, that worked with no issues.

This wiil work with a 2 prong, non-grounded plug. I do not believe it will work with a 3 prong grounded plug. It will work if the ground prong is removed but then you have a safety issue.

As previously mentioned by E. Allen, you could use an ungrounded (two-prong) to grounded (three-prong) adapter to plug into the two-prong lamp socket adapter, such as CableWholesale Cable Wholesale 3 Prong to 2 Prong Grounding Converter (30W1-32200) (strictly speaking, the latter adapter is meant for a grounded receptacle lacking a ground prong...)

You can use a converter if you don't need it. I used one for my Dell computer and it worked fine.I had two prong adapters, but the brick had a three prong cord. I got that adapter and it works fine, too.

Yes, I believe it would work because it has multiple settings for varying voltages. Please make sure the polarity (+-) is set properly before using it. Directions for how to set the polarity come with the adapter. If you don't pay attention, you may damage your unit.

Yes, but make sure the adapter plug can output at least half an amp (or 500mA).

The unit has three prongs that plug into the wall outlet. It probably could be used with the proper three-to-two prong adapter.

Sorry I don't really know, it does work with other models but not sure which ones, I think it tells you in the description part not sure what you meant by 3 prong, hopefully someone else can answer your question.

I'm looking for the same thing. Did you find an adapter with 2 prongs the same size?

Yes you can. The only problem with this setup is the power adapter the one I got just keeps making a ticking sound. I was lucky I had a spare on hand to make it work.
