Travelling in Anguilla you will meet Types A and B sockets, fed with 110 V at 60 Hz. At 110 V the supply sits well below the 230 V used across Europe. Power supplies marked “100–240 V” are fine; 230 V-only appliances are not. The grid runs at 60 Hz. Chargers do not care; mains-synchronised clocks and simple motors do.
You will find identical sockets in Bermuda, Aruba, the Cayman Islands and Mexico. Watch out when moving on: Saint Lucia, Grenada and Dominica use a completely different system. 24 of the 31 destinations in North and Central America share the plug types of Anguilla.
Protective earth
Grounded and ungrounded sockets may occur
Earthed sockets (Type B) and unearthed ones (Type A) exist side by side. For metal-bodied appliances the protective-earth path is what matters.
At 110 V a 230 V-only hair dryer will not work properly; dual-voltage chargers will. Frequency is 60 Hz; timers and simple motors run differently. Check your own device →

Do I need a voltage converter for Anguilla?
At 110 V it depends on the rating plate: “100–240 V” is fine, single-voltage gear is not.
An adapter changes the plug shape only, not voltage or frequency. Anguilla supplies 110 V at 60 Hz – check the rating plate on your device. How to read a rating plate →
If a socket gets hot, crackles or smells burnt, unplug the device straight away.
