UK to Saint Lucia Plug Adaptors

Our Adaptor Recommendation

You do not need any plug adaptors.

Saint Lucia Electrical Supply

Saint Lucia uses plug type G with matching sockets.
The electrical supply voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz.

Voltage Converters

Please be aware that whilst a power adaptor will allow you to physically insert a UK plug into a Saint Lucian socket it will not change the voltage or frequency of the local mains supply.

Voltage - The Saint Lucian mains supply is 230 V, which is within the normal UK range of 230 V +10%/-6%, so British appliances are compatible.

Frequency - Saint Lucia operates at 50 Hz, the same as the UK. Frequency compatibility is therefore not a problem for UK appliances.

Most modern travel gadgets, chargers and laptops are dual voltage and will work worldwide; check the appliance or power supply for an input such as 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz.

If you have equipment that is not compatible with the Saint Lucian supply voltage, check our transformers page for further information and available options for transformers and power converters that you can use in Saint Lucia. Voltage converters and transformers only change the voltage, not the frequency, of the supply. Changing the frequency requires specialist frequency-conversion equipment, which is not normally practical for travellers.

Transformers & Voltage Converters

If you need to take items like hair dryers / straighteners that draw high current then see our hair straighteners page for information on how it can affect your choice of travel adaptor.

Saint Lucia Plug Type Specifications

Plug Type G

Type G plugs have 3 rectangular pins in a triangular configuration, and are rated at 13A. The live and neutral pins are 4mm x 6.35mm, 17.7mm long and spaced 22.2mm apart. The earth pin is 4mm x 8mm, 22.7mm long and offset by 22.2mm.

The live and neutral pins are insulated and the plugs individually fused. The sockets have safety shutters preventing access to the live and neutral until they are opened by the insertion of the (longer) earth pin. This makes type G plugs one of the safest designs in the world.
