Check if your appliance is compatible with the voltages used in Ecuador
The voltages, 120V and 127V, are used in parts of Ecuador but not in Algeria.
Some appliances are compatible with multiple voltages. To find out if your appliance is one of them, check the appliance label and/or instruction booklet.
See examples of appliance labels
Is your appliance compatible with the voltages used in Ecuador (120V and 127V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, and you wish to use it in parts of Ecuador where these voltages are present, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Ecuador.
The frequency of electrical current found in Algeria (50Hz) differs to that found in Ecuador (60Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
