Saint Barthélemy's voltage level of 220 V is quite similar to the 230 V system used in Germany. These slight differences are usually considered by manufacturers.
230 V50 Hz220 V60 HzThere is no need for a voltage converter in Saint Barthélemy, when traveling from Germany.Pay attention to the frequency difference.To confirm, check if your devices require a voltage converter by looking at the 'INPUT' label, typically found on the power adapter or charger. If the label shows "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz," the device is built to handle different voltage and frequency ranges. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
Yes, you can use your German hair dryer in Saint Barthélemy since the voltages are compatible (230 V and 220 V). However, due to the difference in frequency (50 Hz in Germany, 60Hz in Saint Barthélemy), the motor might run slightly differently. The hair dryer could heat up faster or slower but should still work. You do not need a voltage converter.
Yes, your German laptop or smartphone will work in Saint Barthélemy. Modern laptops and smartphones are designed to handle both 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies, so the frequency difference won’t be an issue.
Yes, you should be able to use your German curling iron or flat iron in Saint Barthélemy, as the voltage (230 V) is compatible. However, the difference in frequency (60 Hz in Saint Barthélemy) could cause slight changes in performance. In most cases, the device should work, and a voltage converter is likely unnecessary. However, always make sure to check the label to verify compatibility with local standards.
No, if you live in Germany, no power adapter is required when traveling to Saint Barthélemy.
No, you don’t need a voltage converter because both countries use a similar voltage (230 V and 220 V). The only difference is frequency (50 Hz vs. 60 Hz), but most devices, especially modern electronics, can handle that.
See if your power plugs from Germany fit into the sockets of other destinations and whether you need a voltage converter.
