Check if your appliance is compatible with the voltages used in Netherlands
The voltages, 230V, 127V and 220V, are used in parts of Netherlands but not in Trinidad & Tobago.
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 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 these voltages are present, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Netherlands.
The frequency of electrical current found in Trinidad & Tobago (60Hz) differs to that found in Netherlands (50Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
