If you are organizing to travel to Denmark it is helpful to know if you'll be able to use all your common devices when you reach your destination. But, without knowing which plug socket is used in Denmark you may bring the wrong charger, leaving you needing to purchase a potentially overpriced adaptor when you're there. Varying different combinations of standards and plugs can all cause confusion when planning on visiting another country especially if you've never been there before. This guide shows what you'll need to supply power to your iPad when you are travelling to Denmark by using the standard type K Danish 230 volt 50Hz wall outlets, Type K power outlets are used by most Danes. When you are visiting Denmark from a different country check your iPad can be used with a 240v supply. If it was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110v) double check your device is dual-voltage (marked with 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional power transformer to avoid the device from over-heating whilst powering it.
