The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Puerto Rico and Ecuador.
| Puerto Rico | Ecuador | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | A, B | A, B |
| Voltage | 120V | 120V, 127V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 60Hz | 60Hz |
In Puerto Rico there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Ecuador there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Puerto Rico) to Plug Type B
(Ecuador)
Ecuador also uses Socket Type A, which is used in Puerto Rico. If using an appliance that has a Type A Plug in the Type A Sockets of Ecuador, you will not need an adaptor.
In Ecuador there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Puerto Rico) to Plug Type A
(Ecuador)
Ecuador also uses Socket Type B, which is used in Puerto Rico. If using an appliance that has a Type B Plug in the Type B Sockets of Ecuador, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Puerto Rico (120V) and Ecuador (120V and 127V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Puerto Rico and Ecuador is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
