Electricity in Bermuda

Before you pack: Bermuda uses Types A and B, 120 V and 60 Hz. 120 V instead of 230 V: check the rating plate before you plug in a hair dryer. An adapter does not change voltage. 60 Hz rather than 50 Hz matters only for motors and timers, not for power supplies.

You will find identical sockets in Canada, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas and Mexico. Nearby but different: Dominica, Saint Lucia and Guadeloupe – an adapter for Bermuda will not fit there. Across North and Central America this setup is common: 24 of 31 countries.

Protective earth

Grounded and ungrounded sockets may occur

Mixed supply: Type A without earth, Type B with earth. Which one is in your room only shows on arrival.
