Which plugs and voltages are used in Brazil?

When traveling to Brazil, it is important to know which plugs and voltages are used in the country. The standard voltage in Brazil is 110 volts and the standard frequency is 60 Hz. The most common type of plug used in Brazil is the two-pronged plug, which is also used in the United States.

What do Brazil's electrical outlets look like?

When you are going on a trip to Brazil, be sure to pack the appropriate travel plug adapter that fits the local sockets. But what do those electrical outlets look like? The type N socket and plug are the official standard in Brazil. Type C plugs are also official, but not type C sockets.

What type of plug sockets are used in Brazil?

Type N plug sockets are used in Brazil. They have three round pins, similar to type C plug sockets but with a different arrangement. These plugs are typically used with devices that have a voltage of 110-240V. Convert voltage to safely use your electronics anywhere in the world. Adapt to the shape of the outlet in the country you are traveling to.

Is there a standard voltage in Brazil?

In Brazil there is no standard voltage. Most federative units (about 60 per cent of all Brazilian households) use 127 V electricity, but some other – mainly northeastern – states are on 220 V. Even within some states themselves, the voltage may differ.

Do I need a plug adapter in Brazil?

Brazil's standard voltage is 127V/220V with 60Hz frequency. If your device is labeled "100-240V 50/60Hz", you only need a plug adapter. If the device only supports single voltage (like 110V or 220V devices), you'll need a voltage converter to protect your device from damage.

What voltage does a Brazilian outlet run?

Brazilian outlets usually operate at 127V or 220V. In contrast, most European countries have standard voltages of 220-240V. This discrepancy means that travelers should check their devices for voltage compatibility. Using a device that cannot handle the Brazilian voltage may result in damage.
