Brazil wall electric outlet?

Question

what electric wall outlet adapter is used in Brazil.

Answer 1

depends on where you go - when I lived in Sao Paulo, they use the ungrounded plug with two flat parallel prongs is pretty much standard in most of North and Central America.

I did on occasion venture to areas where the two-wire plug is ungrounded and has two round prongs OR the plug with two flat parallel prongs and a grounding pin.

It looks like they use both the US flat pin and the European style round pin plugs.

Answer 3

rio de janeiro-110 V

sao paulo- 220 V

all hotels now have both ,you can use all .They have adaptors available too. . If you are not going to a big city mostly 2 holes 110 v.

Answer 4

all outlets have american flat and round tipped ones, but the round tipped ones are thiner than the euro ones.

So if you are comming from Europe, an american adpter is fine.

If you are comming from the US, you don't need adapters at all.

As for voltage, Rio and São Paulo are 110.

São Paulo's countri side is 220 as well as the Northeast, Brasilia and the Center West and the North.

Answer 5

Of 110 and 220 V

In the major cities of Brasil nearly every electrical outlet is dual, for North American standards and European(minus the UK).   The major cities being, Rio, Salvador, Brasilia, Belo Horizante, Porte Alegre, Forteleza, Recife and even some remote tourist areas like Foz do Iguacu.  I am Brasilian-American so I frequent Brasil yearly.  Hope this helps
