| 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 Isle of Man there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Faroe Islands) to Plug Type G
(Isle of Man)
Isle of Man 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 Isle of Man, you will not need an adaptor.
In Isle of Man 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
(Isle of Man)
Socket Type K
(Faroe Islands) to Plug Type G
(Isle of Man)
The voltages found in Faroe Islands (220V) and Isle of Man (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 Isle of Man is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
