Description
The PowerSync TC1390 represents a significant upgrade for home electrical safety and convenience. Manufactured in Taiwan and compliant with the latest CNS safety standards, this adapter allows users to plug 3-prong (grounded) devices into 2-prong wall sockets without the dangerous practice of breaking off the grounding pin. Its standout feature is the integrated independent power switch, which provides a physical disconnect to save energy and protect sensitive electronics from surges when not in use.
This product is for:
- Occupants of older residential units where 2-pin wall outlets are the standard.
- Home office professionals seeking to manage power for monitors and printers without unplugging cables.
- Safety-oriented homeowners who prioritize fire-retardant PC (Polycarbonate) materials in their electrical accessories.
- Users of high-power kitchen appliances like coffee makers or toasters that require a stable 15A/1650W connection.
- Environmentally conscious consumers looking to reduce standby power consumption via a dedicated hardware switch.

Using the TC1390 is straightforward and reassuring. The adapter fits snugly into wall outlets without wobbling, and the 3-prong socket on the front holds heavy-duty power cords securely. The toggle switch provides a satisfying tactile click, allowing you to cut power instantly without reaching for the wall plug. Its compact 5.6cm width is specifically designed to minimize interference with adjacent sockets in a standard duplex wall outlet, ensuring you don't lose access to other power points.
Unlike generic 3-to-2 adapters that lack safety certifications, the PowerSync TC1390 is fully BSMI certified and backed by a 10 million TWD product liability insurance policy. While basic adapters require you to unplug the device to stop power flow, the TC1390’s built-in switch reduces wear and tear on both the wall outlet and the appliance plug. Furthermore, its use of pure copper internals ensures better conductivity and lower heat buildup compared to cheaper alloy alternatives found in unbranded expansion sockets.
Q&A:
- Can I use this with high-wattage appliances like air fryers? Yes, it supports up to 1650W, making it suitable for most heavy-duty household appliances.
- Does this adapter provide grounding? It allows a 3-prong plug to fit a 2-prong outlet, but the electrical circuit will not be grounded unless the outlet box itself is specifically grounded.
- Is the material fireproof? The casing is made of high-grade PC plastic that is heat-resistant and non-flammable under standard failure conditions.
- Why should I use the switch instead of just leaving it on? The switch prevents phantom load energy waste and provides an extra layer of safety for devices prone to standby issues.
- Where is this product manufactured? This specific model is manufactured in Taiwan, ensuring high quality control and adherence to strict safety regulations.
