Your US electrical devices are made to use 120 Volts, but the Indian grid provides 230 Volts, which is a substantial difference that requires you to take some additional steps in preparation for your trip:
On the positive side, nowadays many devices automatically adapt to the mains voltage and work perfectly, for example, cell phone chargers are often multi-voltage (but please check yours in particular). It is important to pay attention to the voltage of your device. By connecting the electronics to the wrong voltage, in the luckiest of cases, the device will break or temporarily stop working; but do not take this lightly in the worst case electrocution and fire are a real possibility.

It is important to keep in mind that there are differences in current intensity, frequency or volt measurement. Sometimes, even if the slots of the plug fit perfectly, it does not mean that the device is compatible, moreover, in the long run we could damage the device if the intensity of the voltage are not the same.
It is therefore very important to be sure of the type of voltage that we will find at the destination. Also, the adapters already perform the function of current transformation to ensure a correct transmission of frequency and voltage.
However, even if 2 countries operate with the same voltage there can always be a second problem: the shape of the plug. To ensure that the correct voltage is used and that the plug type works, a universal adapter will solve our problems.
