Do I need a travel adapter?
You need a plug adapter when the plug on your device does not physically match the socket standard used at your destination. Before plugging anything in, also check the voltage printed on the device or charger.
Voltage and frequency
El Salvador is listed at 115 V and 60 Hz. Many phone and laptop chargers accept a wide input range such as 100–240 V, but always confirm the exact input label on your own charger.
Hair dryers and high-power appliances
Heating appliances are more likely to be single-voltage. If the voltage printed on the appliance does not cover the local supply, a simple plug adapter is not enough.
