Check if your appliance is compatible with the voltages used in Belize
The voltages, 110V and 220V, are used in parts of Belize but not in Suriname.
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 Belize (110V and 220V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, and you wish to use it in parts of Belize where these voltages are present, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Belize.
The frequency found in Suriname and Belize is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
