Voltage, Frequency, Plug/Outlet Type - Electricity Info

Voltage Converters, Plug Adapters and Outlet Shapes

If you're travelling in or planning to travel to a foreign country, be sure to know beforehand if any electrical appliances or electronic devices that you want to take with you will be compatible with the voltage and plug shapes in that country.

If your devices accept the country's voltage, but have a different shape of plug, you will need a plug adapter.

If your devices do not use the same voltage, you will need a voltage converter.
