Is your appliance compatible with the voltage used in Cuba (110V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Cuba.
The frequency of electrical current found in Afghanistan (50Hz) differs to that found in Cuba (60Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
