220 V
60 Hz
In Philippines, they use power outlets and plugs of type A, type B and type C. The voltage is 220 V, and the frequency is 60 Hz.
You will need an adapter for type A, B and C power outlets in Philippines
Be cautious with some devices due to the frequency difference.In Philippines, type A, B and C power outlets are used, while in India, you use plugs C, D and M. If you're traveling to Philippines, you'll need a power adapter for types A, B and C, as your power plugs won't fit the sockets there.
Your plugs C, D and M do not match outlet type A.
Your plugs C, D and M do not match outlet type B.
Your plugs D and M do not match outlet type C.
Since you'll need a travel adapter for Philippines when coming from India, 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, B and C. 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).
Philippines' voltage level of 220 V is quite similar to the 230 V system used in India. These slight differences are usually considered by manufacturers.
230 V50 Hz220 V60 HzThere is no need for a voltage converter in Philippines, when traveling from India.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, meaning you’ll only need a plug adapter for the outlets in Philippines. 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 Indian hair dryer in Philippines since the voltages are compatible (230 V and 220 V). However, due to the difference in frequency (50 Hz in India, 60Hz in Philippines), 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 Indian laptop or smartphone will work in Philippines. 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 Indian curling iron or flat iron in Philippines, as the voltage (230 V) is compatible. However, the difference in frequency (60 Hz in Philippines) 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.
Yes, when traveling from India, you will need a power adapter for type A, B and C power outlets in Philippines.
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.
