Electricity  

Frequency: 50 Hz.
Voltage: 220 – 240 Volts.

If you wish to bring any electrical appliances or devices, think twice. Look at the electrical appliance that you intend to take to Turkiye.

Make sure the appliance is labeled to operate in a frequency and voltage range (Note: Appliance failure and fire may result). If your appliance is not rated for European electric power, you can purchase a power converter or a transformer. Laptop computers should have no problems in Turkiye but check on the transformer to ensure that they can use 220 Volts.

Transformer- A transformer lowers the voltage but it does not change the frequency. The frequency remains at 50 Hz. Transformers weigh quite a bit and the lightweight ones that you can take with you are limited to the amount of electric power that they can supply, typically 50 Watts. Before using the transformer, look at the appliance that you are going to connect to it and confirm that the power consumed by the appliance is less that the rating of the transformer. Transformers are only suitable to supply power to certain types of appliances such as electric shavers and toothbrushes, cassette tape players, radios and small battery chargers. Read the transformer instructions for more details.

Converter- A converter lowers the voltage such as way as to produce harmonics that can damage certain types of equipment. Converters can supply more power than a transformer of the same weight, typically 1600 Watts. Converters are only suitable to supply power to certain types of appliances such as portable hair dryers, irons, hot pots, heating pads, electric blankets, mixers and blenders and incandescent lamps. Some converters have a minimum as well as a maximum power output rating. Read the converter instructions for more details.

You can only use round prong plug in Turkiye. Plug Adapters will be available if needed.
