Power Adapter & Electricity
Taiwan's electrical system runs on 110V with a frequency of 60Hz, and the plug type is A (two flat prongs) or B (two flat prongs with a round grounding pin).
Here’s what you need to know:
1. Plug Type
Type A: Two flat parallel prongs.
Type B: Two flat parallel prongs and a round grounding pin.
If your devices have a different plug type (such as Type C or Type G), you will need a plug adapter to fit the Taiwanese outlets.
2. Voltage
Voltage: 110V
Frequency: 60Hz
Most devices like laptops and phones can handle this voltage (check your device for a voltage range, typically found on the power brick or charger). If your device only supports 220-240V, you’ll need a voltage converter in addition to a plug adapter.
3. Power Adapters and Converters
Plug Adapter: If you’re traveling from countries that use a different plug type (such as the UK or Europe), you’ll need a plug adapter to connect your devices to Taiwanese outlets.
Voltage Converter: If your device only works with 220V, you’ll need a voltage converter to safely use it in Taiwan. Double-check your device’s voltage compatibility to avoid damage!
4. Charging Your Devices
Taiwan’s electrical outlets are plentiful in hotels, airports, cafes, and other public places, so you should be able to find somewhere to charge your devices.
You can also purchase universal adapters at major stores or electronics retailers in Taiwan if you forget to bring one.
