What would be the right way to plug Dell G15 5530 (i7, rtx 4060)?
Hi All,
I am planning to purchase Dell g15 5530 (i7, rtx 4060) and got to know it comes with 330w charger which has 16A plug. But the electric socket i have at my work place is 6a only.
So what would be the right way to use 16A plug of laptop to plug in.
1. can i use 6A to 16A converter (as the i read that anything more than 1000w needs the power from 16A).
and it wont impact laptops warranty.. as machine is expensive to buy and i dont want to have warranty gets void because if this power socket mismatch.
thanks in advance.

6A at 120 V is 720 W, so a 330 W adapter will be fine as long as whatever else is plugged into that circuit doesn't otherwise overload it.

@ejn63 thanks for your input. we have 220v instead of 120v.. so i think still 6a converter would work.. right ?
and no way it will impact warranty..?

It's not clear what you mean by "converter". You need to use the OEM AC adapter, so that needs to plug directly into an AC outlet. A 6A 240V outlet WILL power the adapter.

@ejn63
What i mean was
a converter with 6A 3 pin plug that will go to the wall socket while the converter's 16A socket will have Laptop charger plugged in.
for example a converter looks like this

That should be fine -- it's just a plug adapter.
