The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Ecuador and Canada.
| Ecuador | Canada | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | A, B | A, B |
| Voltage | 120V, 127V | 120V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 60Hz | 60Hz |
In Ecuador there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Canada there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Ecuador) to Plug Type B
(Canada)
Canada also uses Socket Type A, which is used in Ecuador. If using an appliance that has a Type A Plug in the Type A Sockets of Canada, you will not need an adaptor.
In Canada there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Ecuador) to Plug Type A
(Canada)
Canada also uses Socket Type B, which is used in Ecuador. If using an appliance that has a Type B Plug in the Type B Sockets of Canada, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Ecuador (120V and 127V) are the same as those found in Canada. As there are multiple voltages present, care should be taken to ensure your appliance is compatible with the power outlet you are using.
The frequency found in Ecuador and Canada is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
