Build your trip

Add several destinations. The planner checks plug fit and device voltage separately for every stop.

Add destinations to build your travel power kit.

Important: Plug fit and voltage compatibility are separate. Always verify the printed input label on your actual device, charger or appliance. High-power and grounded equipment need extra care.

Travel power basics

Clear answers for common travel power questions

Plug shape, voltage, and frequency are separate checks. Each one can affect whether a device can be used safely at the destination.

Plug Types

Compare the plug and outlet types used at home with those used at the destination.

Voltage

Check whether local electricity is commonly supplied at 100–127V or 220–240V.

Frequency

Confirm whether the destination uses 50Hz or 60Hz for frequency-sensitive equipment.

↔

Adapter or Converter

Separate physical plug compatibility from the need to change electrical voltage.

The important difference

A travel adapter does not convert voltage

A plug adapter changes only the physical connection between a device plug and a wall outlet. It does not change 230V electricity into 120V electricity or 120V into 230V.

Many phone, tablet, laptop, and camera chargers accept 100–240V. Hair dryers, curling irons, kettles, irons, and other high-power appliances require closer checking.

Common device checks

Different devices carry different power risks

The charger or appliance label determines whether a plug adapter is enough or whether voltage compatibility needs more attention.

POften lower risk

Phones and Tablets

Many USB chargers support 100–240V, but a destination-specific plug adapter may still be required.

LCheck the label

Laptops and Cameras

Many power bricks support international voltage. Check the input rating and grounding needs.

HHigher caution

Hair Dryers and Irons

High-power heat devices are more likely to be single voltage and may not be suitable for converter use.

Three essential checks

Destination, device label, and required accessory

These three details determine whether a device needs a plug adapter, a voltage converter, both, or neither.

Destination supply

Identify the local plug types, standard voltage, and frequency.

Device input rating

Read the input information on the charger, power brick, or appliance label.

Compatible accessory

Match the plug shape and voltage requirements before connecting the device.

Editorial and verification approach

Source-based country electricity information

TravelPlugMap is an independent information site and is not an official standards organization.

Country electricity data is checked against IEC World Plugs and national or recognized electrical-safety sources. Each country page shows its last verification date.

Source checkingPlug, voltage, and frequency claims are compared with recognized references.

Page-level reviewCountry pages identify when their core electricity information was last checked.

CorrectionsMaterial errors can be reviewed and corrected as source information changes.

Plan your travel power before you pack
