Voltage converter needed in Cuba?
In Cuba, two voltage levels are in use (110 / 220 V), which can vary by region, city, or sometimes even hotel. Your electric devices typically operate at 120 V in the United States. So please check the local voltage before using your devices! If the local voltage is much higher at 220 V, you need a voltage converter. Without a converter, you risk serious damage to your devices.
- You may need a voltage converter, because the voltage in Cuba may vary locally and can be too high for your devices.
A voltage converter will ensure a safe input voltage level for your devices in Cuba. You can find voltage converters at Amazon. Because you also need a power plug adapter, you might want a combined plug adapter/voltage converter.
To be sure, check the label on your devices. Some devices never need a converter. If the label states 'INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz' the device can be used in every country in the world. This is common for devices with chargers like tablets/laptops, photo cameras, cell phones, toothbrushes, etc. For these devices you will only need a power plug adapter.
