Voltage for Electric Appliances家電電壓

Probably the most asked questions from our tenants, be cautious of the following if you want your appliances to work properly!

  1. Taiwan's standard voltage is 110V, and the power frequency is 60Hz.
  2. The voltage for heating and air conditioning units is often 220/240V, 60Hz.
  3. Wall outlets in Taiwan, similar to those in the USA, are mostly two-prong (type A) or three-prong (type B).
  4. If the wall outlet is a two-prong, one can use a three-prong adapter to use appliances brought from overseas.
  5. If you come from a country with a voltage of 220/240V and a frequency of 50Hz, some of your appliances may not work.
  6. Appliances that require 50Hz will need a frequency converter to change the power frequency to 60Hz in order to be used. However, frequency converters are generally expensive and hard to obtain.
  7. Before using your appliances, check the label to see if they are compatible with 60Hz.
  8. Small appliances such as mobile phones and laptops can usually operate on either 110V or 220/240V and at either 50/60Hz.
  9. These appliances can be plugged directly into a 220/240V outlet, a three-prong outlet, or used with a transformer (110V/240V), but be aware that some transformers may overheat.
  10. Transformers are not only easy to obtain and inexpensive, most can be directly plugged into a 110V two-prong wall outlet.
  11. Some appliances have dual voltage capability, and the required voltage setting can usually be found on the product's label or in its specifications.

台灣標準電壓為110V，電源頻率為60Hz，冷暖氣空調電壓則多是220/240V，60Hz。牆壁插座，和美國類似，多為兩孔插座(type A)或三孔插座(type B）。如果牆壁為二孔插座，只需加裝一個三插頭轉換器二插頭即可使用國外帶來的電器。

如果您來自電壓為220/240V、頻率為50Hz的國家，那麼您的部分家電可能就無法使用。如果有50Hz頻率的電器，則需要另外使用一個頻率轉換器，將電源頻率轉換為60Hz才可使用，不過頻率轉換器通常比較貴且不易取得，在使用您所帶來的家電時，請先檢查該家電所標籤的規格是否是60Hz。

但小型家電如手機、筆電110V還是220V/240V和50/60Hz下都還是可以使用。只要將這些家電直接插入220/240V的插座、三孔插座，或使用變壓器（110V/240V）即可，不過要注意的是，有些變壓器可能會因此過熱。這些變壓器不但容易取得也不貴，大部分都可以直接插入110V的牆壁二孔插座。

有些家電具有雙電壓功能，通常可以在產品的標籤或規格處找到所需的電壓設置。
