PS4 voltage question

[Noor-quttieneh]

I want to know if I buy a PS4 slim from Amazon and ship it to isreal will there be a voltage difference and will anything happen to the console

Pretty sure the power requirement is 220-240V. Israel uses 220 right?

I think so but im planning to use an adapter for the cable and by buying from Amazon im saving 150$

or buy the PS, and buy a cable from any local electronic store. they make em pretty simple these days.

 

Pretty sure there isn't even a 220-240 switch nowadays.

The PS4 has an auto-switching PSU, with a range of AC too to 240V. This means the physical hardware is fully capable of running on standard North American 120VAC, in addition to European 220VAC, without any transformers or "active" adapters.

 

All you need to do is buy the correct power cable that has the Israeli prongs on it - or use a passive prong adapter.

Consoles in 230VAC Regions are 230VAC only.

ALL, throughout the bank, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, ALL!

How does that affect the OP, though? I believe he wants to import a 120VAC PS4 from Amazon.com - if this is the case, he should have no problems, as the specs listed above by myself (granted, these are from the UK page - the US site doesn't list specs in this manner) clearly show 100-240VAC, so it should handle his 230VAC no problem.

It doesn't, as Israel is a 230VAC Country.

The Issue would be Japan and US of A.

True.

But my German PS4 PRO only specs the PSU for 220-240VAC.

 

That is something to keep in mind...

If OP is buying a PS4 from North America and that supports 100-240V and 50/60Hz, then what the European PS4/PS4 Pros support is of irrelevance at best here.

If he was buying a European PS4/Pro and it only supports 230V then yes, that would be relevant.
