Sockets and voltage in Chile
- Type CCEE 7/16 (Europlug)No earth
- Type FCEE 7/3 (Schuko)Earthed
- Type LCEI 23-50Earthed
- Voltage
- 220 V
- Frequency
- 50 Hz
- Earthed sockets
- Type F, Type L
Type L is the national standard, but Schuko plugs turn up on high-power appliances.
What you need, by where you are coming from
- Arriving from the United States or CanadaA plug adapter, and appliances marked 100-240 V. Anything single-voltage needs a converter.
- Arriving from the UK or IrelandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
- Arriving from most of continental EuropePlugs go straight in and the voltage matches. Nothing to pack.
- Arriving from Australia or New ZealandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
Socket types, voltage and frequency are the nominal domestic supply as published in IEC/TR 60083 and the national standards it lists.
Chilean sockets are the Italian Type at 220 V, with Schuko outlets on heavier appliances.
Sockets in Chile are Type , and at 220 V, 50 Hz - the three-in-line Italian socket is the national standard.
- Type is the official standard, three round pins in a row with the earth in the middle, the same as Italy's 10 A version.
- A Europlug fits it. Chargers and laptop bricks need no adapter.
- Schuko sockets turn up on high-power appliances and in newer buildings, so a room can have both.
- British, American and Australian plugs need an adapter.
- 220 V, so American 120 V-only equipment needs a converter. Argentina next door uses the angled Type plug, which fits nothing here.
