Check if your appliance is compatible with the voltages used in Romania
The voltages, 220V and 230V, are used in parts of Romania but not in American Samoa.
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 Romania (220V and 230V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, and you wish to use it in parts of Romania where these voltages are present, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Romania.
The frequency of electrical current found in American Samoa (60Hz) differs to that found in Romania (50Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
