FAQ
What power sockets are used in Taiwan?
Taiwan uses sockets (=outlets) Type A and B. Plug Type A is rated for 100-127V and 15A, featuring two pins and is ungrounded. Plug Type B is rated for 100-127V and 15A, featuring three pins and is grounded.
What power plugs are used in Vanuatu?
Vanuatu uses sockets (=outlets) Type I. Plug Type I is rated for 220-240V and 10A, featuring two or three pins and is not grounded/grounded.
Are plugs from Vanuatu and Taiwan the same?
None of the plugs typically used in Vanuatu are compatible with sockets used in Taiwan.
Do I need a plug adapter in Taiwan?
You will need a travel adapter for plugs Type I from Vanuatu when traveling to Taiwan.
What kind of travel adapter do I need for Taiwan?
When traveling to Taiwan you need the right travel adapter to ensure that your electronic devices can be used without any issues. The adapter needs to be compatible with plug Types A and B commonly used in Taiwan. We recommend getting a universal travel adapter that fits multiple sockets. Especially, if you travel frequently.
Will my phone charge in Taiwan?
If your phone charger is rated for 100-240 V (which is common for many modern devices), it will work in Taiwan without needing a voltage converter. However, you need a plug adapter since chargers from Vanuatu won't fit sockets Type A and B.
Will my laptop charge in Taiwan?
Most laptop chargers are designed to handle a range of input voltages (typically 100-240 volts) which makes them compatible with the voltage in Taiwan. However, you will need a plug adapter to fit Type A and B sockets.
What is the voltage in Vanuatu vs Taiwan?
The standard voltage in Taiwan is 110 V, whereas in Vanuatu the voltage supply is 230 V.
Can I use 230 V in Taiwan?
The standard voltage in Taiwan is 110 V, whereas in Vanuatu the voltage supply is 230 V. This means that the electrical voltage in Taiwan is much lower than in Vanuatu. A voltage converter is needed to ensure a safe input voltage level for your devices.
What is the frequency in Vanuatu vs Taiwan?
The standard frequency in Taiwan is 60 Hz, whereas in Vanuatu the fequency supply is 50 Hz.
Can I use 50 Hz in Taiwan?
Generally, most modern chargers for devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets are designed to work with a range of power frequencies from about 45 Hz to 65 Hz. However, for devices that rely on specific timing based on the mains frequency—such as clocks, some medical equipment, and certain audio devices—the correct frequency is crucial. Using these devices with an incorrect frequency can also cause unexpected behavior. Always check your device's specifications for sensitivity to voltage and frequency variations before using it in a different country or with an unverified power source.
