In Antigua and Barbuda, type A and B power outlets are used, while in United Kingdom, you use plugs G. If you're traveling to Antigua and Barbuda, you'll need a power adapter for types A and B, as your power plugs won't fit the sockets there.
Since you'll need a travel adapter for Antigua and Barbuda when coming from United Kingdom, we suggest opting for a universal power adapter that works in many countries and will also prepare you for future trips.
Make sure to get a power adapter for outlets of type A and B. If you often go abroad, consider getting an all-in-one adapter (most adapters even have additional charging ports for USB-A and USB-C).
Antigua and Barbuda runs on a 230 V electrical system, which is the same voltage standard used in United Kingdom.
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, meaning you’ll only need a plug adapter for the outlets in Antigua and Barbuda. 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 British hair dryer in Antigua and Barbuda since the voltage is the same (230 V). However, due to the difference in frequency (50 Hz in United Kingdom, 60 Hz in Antigua and Barbuda), 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.
