Voltage converter needed in Madagascar?
In Madagascar, two voltage levels are in use (127 / 220 V), which can vary by region, city, or sometimes even hotel. Your electric devices typically operate at 230 V in the United Kingdom. So please check the local voltage before using your devices! If the local voltage is much lower at 127 V, you need a voltage converter.
- You may need a voltage converter, because the voltage in Madagascar may vary locally and can conflict with your devices.
A voltage converter will ensure a safe input voltage level for your devices in Madagascar. You can find voltage converters at Amazon.
A suitable voltage converter can sometimes be hard to find. Some suggest that it is possible to cautiously use your electric devices in Madagascar without a converter. While they most likely won't be damaged, they may not function optimally. A low voltage can lead to overheating and a reduced lifespan. If you don't want to take any chances, use a voltage converter in Madagascar.
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.
