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