    Unless the equipment specifically states that it is designed for 120/240 V 50/60 Hz or equivalent ranges of operation, a converter is required.

    You would also need a device to convert to the different pin configuration even if the ratings covered the 120V 60Hz requirement.

    When you purchase the converter, be careful to ensure that it can handle the power rating of the equipment, with some margin.
