Re: Using british electricals in Canada
Unless your TV has both PAL and NTSC formats it won't be much use as will be in the wrong picture format and you will get 60Hz / 50Hz compatability problems. Laptop, mobile should be dual voltage, will normally say on the transformers what voltage input they will accept.

I will check tonight. But if you look at the wattage useage on the back of your equipment and add them all up that should give you an idea.
