Trinidad and Tobago: plugs, voltage, currency, time & travel facts

Plugs and voltage

Trinidad and Tobago uses Types A and B sockets. Mains supply is 115 V at 60 Hz.

Household sockets are 115 V; 230 V is supplied for large appliances only.

At 115 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.
