Can I Use My Electric Appliances in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria?
Checking the Standard Voltage: The standard voltage in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria falls within the 220 – 240 V category. You can use your electric appliances in these countries if the standard voltage in your country is also within the 220 – 240 V category (as is in the UK, Europe, Australia and most of Asia and Africa). However, if the standard voltage in your country is within the 100 V – 127 V range (as is in the US, Canada and most South American countries), then you will need to use a voltage converter.
Checking the Frequency: The frequencies in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria are 50 Hz. If the frequency in your country differs from 50 Hz, then you should not attempt to use your electric appliances. However, if there is no voltage difference, then you may use your appliance at your own risk. We would recommend being cautious and only using the appliance for a short time.
Checking the Appliance Label: The best thing to do is to check the label on your electric appliance. There are some appliances which can be used internationally without needing a converter. These kinds of appliances have a label reading ‘INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz’ the appliance can be used in all countries in the world. This is common for appliances such as tablets/laptops chargers, photo cameras, cellular phones, electric toothbrushes, etc.
