Taiwan plug types & voltage — adapters, 100–240V devices and local sockets
Taiwan uses US-style Type A/B sockets at 110 V/60 Hz, and many outlets in older buildings are ungrounded.
Sockets & supply
Type A/B sockets at 110 V/60 Hz. Flat-pin plugs fit, but 220 V appliances need a transformer.
From China — your plugs vs local sockets
On the ground
Taiwan uses US-style Type A/B sockets at 110 V/60 Hz, and many outlets in older buildings are ungrounded.
High-power appliances (air conditioners, ovens) often run on 220 V split-phase circuits, but wall outlets remain 110 V — never plug ordinary gear into a dedicated 220 V outlet.
What to pack
Chinese flat-pin plugs fit; single-voltage 220 V appliances (hairdryers, kettles) need a transformer, while 100–240 V chargers work as-is.
Older outlets lack earth — for grounded devices, test the outlet or confirm the building wiring before extended use.
Wide-voltage (INPUT 100–240V) chargers and power bricks work anywhere; single-voltage heating appliances (hairdryers, kettles) need a transformer when voltages differ. Country data cannot certify a device — check the nameplate.
