The voltage, 127V, which is present in Monaco, is significantly different to what's used in Dominica.
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.

Is your appliance compatible with the voltage used in Dominica (230V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Dominica.
The voltage, 220V, which is also present in Monaco, is not exactly the same to what's used in Dominica, 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 Dominica. 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 found in Monaco and Dominica is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
