Voltage converter needed on the Marshall Islands?

The standard voltage on the Marshall Islands (120 V) is much lower than the voltage level your devices typically operate at in the United Kingdom (230 V). Additionally, be aware that the frequency on the Marshall Islands differs.

  • You need a voltage converter on the Marshall Islands.
  • Try to find a voltage converter that can also change the frequency.

A voltage converter will ensure a safe input voltage level for your devices on the Marshall Islands. 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 on the Marshall Islands 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. The wrong frequency can also cause unexpected behavior. If you want to try without a converter (at your own risk), exercise special caution with motorized devices and those containing electronic chips, such as clocks, shavers, and medical devices. If you don't want to take any chances, use a voltage converter on the Marshall Islands.

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.
