Travel Plug Adaptor for Guyana

There are multiple socket types used in Guyana (A / B / D / G). However the most commonly found one is the same type G socket as found in the UK so you should not need any plug adaptors as long as your equipment has standard UK 3 pin plugs.

Please be aware that whilst a travel adaptor will allow you to physically plug a UK plug into a different socket it will not change the voltage or frequency of the supply.

Voltage - The mains voltage in Guyana is 240 V which is compatible with all UK appliances (UK voltage is currently specified as 230 V +10% / - 6%).

Warning triangle Frequency - The frequency in Guyana is 60 Hz which is slightly higher than in the UK (which operates at 50 Hz). In practical terms this makes little difference as most travel appliances will run at either frequency. Some items with motors, such as hairdryers and some clocks will run a little faster than intended but it is not likely to be problematic. Check your device - it may say 50/60 Hz which indicates that it is compatible with either frequency. If you are in doubt or have expensive equipment check with the manufacturer first as some equipment may be damaged by running on an incorrect frequency.

Special considerations - Mixture of 50 Hz and 60 Hz distribution according to Guyana Power and Light Conversion of 50 Hz distribution to 60 Hz is ongoing
