What kind of outlets are in jamaica??

Question

can someone tell me if the outlets in jamaica are the same as in the united states? or do i have to buy converters for them?

Answer 1

they are the same.

Answer 2

Standard 3 prong outlets

Answer 3

They look the same, but the voltage is slightly different. You wont need a converter but you may need a bit of caution.

Jamaica= 110v, 50 cycles

U.S.A. = 120v, 60 cycles

In most cases, devices will work fine, but you should always remember that there is a difference that can cause damage if you really push your electronics too hard.

Anything that uses a motor (fans, tape decks) or that amplifies power (hifi speaker systems) is particularly susceptible to damage when you have them under heavy use with the wrong type of electricity.

Answer 4

The outlets in Jamaica are the same as the U.S.

Answer 5

No they are not the same, you will need a converter, but I've never seen one. I would take a watch too, the hotels I've stayed in don't have clocks in the rooms.

Answer 6

Same
