Finland is a Scandanavian country in Northern Europe. In order to use electronics from the United States in Finland, as well as most other countries outside of the American continent, you need two things, a voltage converter and a plug adapter, unless you have dual-voltage electronics. Dual-voltage electronics will work in other countries that use 220v, without a voltage converter. Most countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia use 220v. North America, most of Central America, and much of South America uses 110v. Finland is a country that uses 220v. The rest of Europe mostly uses 220v as well. If you are traveling to Finland, be sure to bring either a voltage converter or dual-voltage appliances. If you try to use single-volt appliances in Finland, you could cause a fire. But how do you know if your electronics are dual-volt or single-volt?
Look for the voltage rating directly on your appliance. If it says 110v, then it is a single-volt appliance. In this case, find the wattage by either looking on the appliance, or multiplying the voltage by the amp. Then, buy a voltage converter for this appliance that has a wattage at least 25% higher than the appliance. This helps the voltage converter to last longer.
But if you found a voltage rating on your appliance that listed 110v-220v, then it is dual-volt. You do not need a voltage converter for these appliances to function in Finland and other countries that use 220v electrical current.
However, even if you are bringing dual-voltage electronics with you to Finland, you still need a plug adapter, because Finland uses a different type of plug than the Americas. But be careful when buying your plug adapter, because there are six different types of plug adapter corresponding to the six different international plug types, and if if you get the wrong one, it won’t work in Finland. So be sure to buy the correct one.

I’m Brazilian and have been living in the US for the last 6 years. Once you remove yourself from a certain environment and experience new things, you start to realize how screwed up some things are where you came from. We all know and are frustrated everyday with the “jeitinhu brasileiro” (“brazilian way”) to do things and 9 out of 10 times it is NOT the easier way.

I’ve been working for a company in the U.S that specializes in 220 volts (2 phase) overseas appliances. Being in this field got me interested in researching why Brazil has 110V in some places and 220V in others, and I realized that the reason makes no sense whatsoever.

According to my research, in the 1920’s when the first electricity provider companies were starting to establish themselves in Brazil, there were no guidelines in what type of electricity the country should use, so each company did whatever they wanted. That is why if you go to some of the states in the north east or to the country side you might find the power outlets to be 220 volts. But if you go to a major city they will probably be 110 volts, but this is definitely not a rule. The rule is that there is no rule when talking about Brazilian electricity.

Something else I thought it was interesting, is that Brazil is one of the very few countries that uses 220 volts 60 hz when the majority of the countries that operate in 220 volts use 50 hz, the latter is a much more efficient way of using electricity. But of course Brazil has to be different. So a good advice for my fellow Brazilian friends is that, if you live in America and you are trying to take any motorized equipment overseas, make sure to check the hertz on your equipment. American 220 volts appliances are 3 phase 220 volts 60 hz. Models made to operate overseas are 2 phase 220 volts 50hz . Be aware because these 2 types of electricity are completely different from each other, and in this case there is no voltage converter that will do the job.

To make things even better, I found out that in 2010 Inmetro, the company that regulates electricity in Brazil, required the “Standardizing” of all power plugs and outlets in the country, but not to one of the ones that we already had which was the type C (European 2 round pin plug) or B American style plug. They decided to go “wild” and change to a Switzerland style plug type J.

Globalization? No! let’s be unique!

The Faeroe Islands are a network of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, North of Great Britain and West of Norway. Are you planning a trip there? Isolated islands of great interest to many scientists, but you may just want to experience the rich culture, the culture, or the unique food. But you should know that the Faeroe Islands use electrical plugs that are probably shaped differently from the ones you are used to in the United States. You might be planning to bring some of your electronics to the Faeroe Islands, but American-style plugs are not used at all in Faeroe Islands. There are six different types of plugs that are used around the world, and most countries outside North and South America use the common three-cylindrical-pronged design. The Faeroe Islands use this model, but also a two-prong design. But you do not need to buy new electronics in Faeroe Islands in order to use any electronics there. You simply need plug adapters. Purchase both types that you will need in Faeroe Islands, and be sure to buy the correct kind, keeping in mind there are six total plug types, and Faeroe Islands only uses two.
Most places outside of North America also use a higher voltage current. 110v is the voltage used by North America and most of Central and South America. However, in most other continents, 220v is used. In countries where 220v is used, it is important to bring a voltage converter that has a 25% higher wattage rating than the appliance you are using it for. In Faeroe Islands, the voltage used is 220v, the most commonly used voltage. So if you are going to Cyprus, be sure to also get a voltage converter. This does not apply if you are bringing dual-voltage appliances. However, single-volt appliances will need a voltage converter. The wattage should be indicated on the indication panel of the devices. If not, multiply the voltage by the amp. Then you can buy the correct voltage converters for your selected appliances.

The Republic of Equatorial Guinea is a country in Central Africa.
If you are planning on traveling to Equatorial Guinea with some of your personal electronic appliances, you will not be able to use them unless they are designed for 220v electrical current. Most countries outside of the Americas use 220v, including Equatorial Guinea. If you are going to Equatorial Guinea, be prepared for 220v by bringing dual-voltage appliances. If an electronic device is dual-voltage, it means that it accepts both 110v and 220v electrical current. It will indicate this by showing a 110v-220v voltage rating on its indication panel.
But if you do not own any dual-voltage appliances, and don’t want to buy any, you can buy voltage converters for your single-volt appliances.

Voltage converters attach to your electrical devices and regulate the electrical current coming out of outlets that use 220v. Without a voltage converter, your single-volt appliances are a safety hazard. They will not work, and may cause a fire. If you want to buy voltage converters for the single-volt appliances you are bringing with you to Equatorial Guinea, find the wattage rating on the appliances. If it isn’t listed, just multiply the voltage by the amp. When you have this wattage number, buy a voltage converter that is 25% higher in wattage than the appliance you intend to use it with.

Equatorial Guinea also uses two different types of electrical plugs. One of them is the American style plug that you are probably used to. However, another type of plug is also used in Equatorial Guinea, with three cylindrical prongs. Bring a plug adapter designed to fit these outlets in case you do not come across any American-style ones.

The Republic of El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America.

But, did you know that worldwide, two types of electrical voltage are used? North America, most of Central and South America, Japan, and some areas in Europe and Asia use 110v electrical current. All of the electronic devices available to buy in these places are designed for 110v, so when you plug it in, it does not malfunction or create a health hazard.

Most of Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia use 220v electrical current. Likewise, all of the appliances made available there are designed to be plugged into 220v. If you want to travel with some of your appliances to a country that uses 220v, you should be prepared so that your safety does not become compromised. Bring dual-voltage appliances on your trip. These appliances list their voltage rating on their information panel as 110v-220v. They can be used safely in 220v outlets. Many lithium battery products, such as laptops, digital cameras, and digital camcorders, are dual-voltage. But if you see that your device only lists 110v as its voltage rating, it is single-voltage. If you want to bring single-volt items with you, all you need to do is get a voltage converter. These will enable you to use your 110v appliances in a country that uses 220v. Get a voltage converter that has a 25% higher wattage rating than the appliance you intend to use it with. The appliance’s wattage, if it is not listed on its panel, can be found by multiplying its volts by its amps.

If you are going to the El Salvador , voltage converters and dual-voltage electronics are not necessary. It uses 110v electricity.
Plug adapters are not necessary to bring to the El Salvador either, as this country uses the same design of electrical plug as the United States.

Most countries outside of the Americas use 220v, including Djibouti . If you are going to Djibouti , be prepared for 220v by bringing dual-voltage appliances. If an electronic device is dual-voltage, it means that it accepts both 110v and 220v electrical current. It will indicate this by showing a 110v-220v voltage rating on its indication panel.
But if you do not own any dual-voltage appliances, and don’t want to buy any, you can buy voltage converter s for your single-volt appliances.
voltage converter s attach to your electrical devices and regulate the electrical current coming out of outlets that use 220v. Without a voltage converter , your single-volt appliances are a safety hazard. They will not work, and may cause a fire. If you want to buy voltage converter s for the single-volt appliances you are bringing with you to Djibouti , find the wattage rating on the appliances. If it isn’t listed, just multiply the voltage by the amp. When you have this wattage number, buy a voltage converter that is 25% higher in wattage than the appliance you intend to use it with.
Djibouti also uses two different types of electrical plugs. One of them is the American style plug that you are probably used to. However, another type of plug is also used in Djibouti , with three cylindrical prongs. Bring a plug adapter designed to fit these outlets in case you do not come across any American-style ones.

Denmark is a Scandanavian country in Northern Europe. In order to use electronics from the United States in Denmark , as well as most other countries outside of the American continent, you need two things, a voltage converter and a plug adapter, unless you have dual-voltage electronics. Dual-voltage electronics will work in other countries that use 220v, without a voltage converter . Most countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia use 220v. North America, most of Central America, and much of South America uses 110v. Denmark is a country that uses 220v. The rest of Europe mostly uses 220v as well. If you are traveling to Denmark , be sure to bring either a voltage converter or dual-voltage appliances. If you try to use single-volt appliances in Denmark , you could cause a fire. But how do you know if your electronics are dual-volt or single-volt?
Look for the voltage rating directly on your appliance. If it says 110v, then it is a single-volt appliance. In this case, find the wattage by either looking on the appliance, or multiplying the voltage by the amp. Then, buy a voltage converter for this appliance that has a wattage at least 25% higher than the appliance. This helps the voltage converter to last longer.
But if you found a voltage rating on your appliance that listed 110v-220v, then it is dual-volt. You do not need a voltage converter for these appliances to function in Denmark and other countries that use 220v electrical current.
However, even if you are bringing dual-voltage electronics with you to Denmark , you still need a plug adapter, because Denmark uses a different type of plug than the Americas. But be careful when buying your plug adapter, because there are six different types of plug adapter corresponding to the six different international plug types, and if you get the wrong one, it won’t work in Denmark . So be sure to buy the correct one.
