What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Azores there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type A
(Antigua) to Plug Type B
(Azores)
Socket Type A
(Antigua) to Plug Type C
(Azores)
Socket Type A
(Antigua) to Plug Type F
(Azores)
In Azores there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type B
(Antigua) to Plug Type C
(Azores)
Socket Type B
(Antigua) to Plug Type F
(Azores)
Azores also uses Socket Type B, which is used in Antigua. If using an appliance that has a Type B Plug in the Type B Sockets of Azores, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Antigua (230V) and Azores (220V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency of electrical current found in Antigua (60Hz) differs to that found in Azores (50Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
