Frequency of electrical current | 60Hz | 60Hz |
In Belize there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Trinidad & Tobago there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Belize) to Plug Type A

In Trinidad & Tobago there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type G
(Belize) to Plug Type A
(Trinidad & Tobago)
Socket Type G
(Belize) to Plug Type B
(Trinidad & Tobago)
The voltage, 220V, which is present in Belize, is significantly different to what's used in Trinidad & Tobago.
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. An example appliance label is below.

Is your appliance compatible with the voltage used in Trinidad & Tobago (115V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Trinidad & Tobago.
The voltage, 110V, which is also present in Belize, is not exactly the same to what's used in Trinidad & Tobago, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer when using sockets with this voltage. Be sure to carefully check the voltage before using your appliance in sockets in Trinidad & Tobago. You may need to ask a local resident, an electrician, or the local government to find out in situations when the power sockets are not labelled with their voltages.
The frequency found in Belize and Trinidad & Tobago is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
