The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Faroe Islands and Gibraltar.
| Faroe Islands | Gibraltar | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | C, K | C, G |
| Voltage | 220V | 240V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Faroe Islands there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Gibraltar there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Faroe Islands) to Plug Type G
(Gibraltar)
Gibraltar also uses Socket Type C, which is used in Faroe Islands. If using an appliance that has a Type C Plug in the Type C Sockets of Gibraltar, you will not need an adaptor.
In Gibraltar there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type K
(Faroe Islands) to Plug Type C
(Gibraltar)
Socket Type K
(Faroe Islands) to Plug Type G
(Gibraltar)
The voltages found in Faroe Islands (220V) and Gibraltar (240V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Faroe Islands and Gibraltar is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
