Hi, I’ve bought a hairdryer type thing that came with a eu 2 pin adaptor, I’ve use three different three pin adaptors to use and all seem to “blow” when I plug it in. Am I doing something wrong or is hairdryer faulty. It’s says 220-240v on packaging. Can someone offer advice please? Thanks

What amps were those 3 pin adaptors rated for? For a hairdryer you'd need 13A.
