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

Plugs and voltage

Montserrat uses Types A and B sockets; Type G is also found. Mains supply is 230 V at 60 Hz.

US-style sockets supplied at 230 V: US devices that are not dual-voltage need a converter.

At 230 V, devices made only for 100–127 V (many American and Japanese hair dryers, curling irons and some shavers) will be damaged without a step-down converter. Chargers labelled “100–240V” work fine with just a plug adapter.
