Can we use electric kettle in train?
The short and simple answer is No. You can not use the electric kettle on the train. You may be thinking that why can’t we use it? It’s just a kettle.
The main reason is that kettles are run on 220v whereas in Indian trains, there is only 110v power supply. So, if you use a kettle on the train, there are high chances that it will damage your kettle as well as the electrical fittings of the train.
Another reason is that kettles take a lot of time to heat up the water and on train journeys, time is a luxury. You can not afford to wait for 5-10 minutes for your water to boil.
So, these were the main reasons why you can not use the electric kettle on the train. But there are some other things that you should keep in mind while traveling with a kettle.
Conclusion
So alas you can not use your electric kettle on the train but all is not lost. You can still make do with a thermos of hot water or get creative and find other ways to make your tea or coffee. Be safe and follow the rules while traveling and most importantly, enjoy your journey!
