Micronesia: plugs, voltage, currency, time & travel facts

Plugs and voltage

Micronesia uses Types A and B sockets. Mains supply is 120 V at 60 Hz.

At 120 V, devices from 220–240 V countries that are not dual-voltage will run weakly or not at all. Chargers labelled “100–240V” work fine with just a plug adapter.
