Main Voltage in Saint Barthélemy

Do I Need a Voltage Converter in Saint Barthélemy?

Saint Barthélemy runs on a main voltage of 220 volts at a frequency of 60 Hz. This is effectively the same as India's 230V/50Hz. You can plug any Indian device into a Saint Barthélemy socket without a voltage converter, as long as the plug shape fits.

Will my Indian charger work in Saint Barthélemy?

Your charger will work, but only with a plug adapter. Saint Barthélemy uses Type E sockets at 220V/60Hz. Your Indian phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage (the label reads 100–240V), so they handle Saint Barthélemy voltage without any issue. The only question is plug shape — your Indian plug will not fit Type E sockets at all, so you must carry a travel adapter. You do not need a voltage converter — Saint Barthélemy's 220V is the same as India's 230V.
