The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Guyana and Netherlands.
Guyana | Netherlands | |
---|---|---|
Plug Types | A, B, D, G | B, A, C, F |
Voltage | 240V | 230V, 127V, 220V |
Frequency of electrical current | 60Hz | 50Hz |
In Guyana there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Netherlands there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type A
(Guyana) to Plug Type B
(Netherlands)
Socket Type A
(Guyana) to Plug Type C
(Netherlands)
Socket Type A
(Guyana) to Plug Type F
(Netherlands)
Netherlands also uses Socket Type A, which is used in Guyana. If using an appliance that has a Type A Plug in the Type A Sockets of Netherlands, you will not need an adaptor.
In Netherlands there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type B

(Netherlands)
Socket Type B
(Guyana) to Plug Type C
(Netherlands)
Socket Type B
(Guyana) to Plug Type F
(Netherlands)
Netherlands also uses Socket Type B, which is used in Guyana. If using an appliance that has a Type B Plug in the Type B Sockets of Netherlands, you will not need an adaptor.
In Netherlands there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.

Check if your appliance is compatible with the voltages used in Netherlands
The voltage, 127V, is used in parts of Netherlands but not in Guyana.
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.
See examples of appliance labels
Is your appliance compatible with the voltages used in Netherlands (230V, 127V and 220V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, and you wish to use it in parts of Netherlands where this voltage is present, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Netherlands.
The voltages, 230V and 220V, which are also present in Guyana, are not exactly the same to what's used in Netherlands, 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 Netherlands. 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 of electrical current found in Guyana (60Hz) differs to that found in Netherlands (50Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
