Voltage converter needed in Saint Barthélemy?

In Saint Barthélemy the standard voltage is 220 V and the frequency is 60 Hz. You can use your electric appliances in Saint Barthélemy, because the standard voltage (220 V) is (more or less) the same as in the United Kingdom (230 V). Manufacturers take these small deviations into account. So you don't need a voltage converter in Saint Barthélemy, when living in the United Kingdom.

The frequency in Saint Barthélemy (60 Hz) differs from the frequency in the United Kingdom (50 Hz). It is not advised to use your appliances, but you could (at your own risk) try for a short time. Be especially careful with moving, rotating and time related appliances like clocks, shavers and electric fan heaters.

To be sure, check the label on the appliance. Some appliances never need a converter. If the label states 'INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz' the appliance can be used in all countries in the world. This is common for chargers of tablets/laptops, photo cameras, cell phones, toothbrushes, etc.
