Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
If your device’s voltage isn’t compatible with your destination, a converter is needed. But in Porlamar, the voltage is close enough to what we use in the U.S., so you won’t need one.
Always verify the power rating label on your device before plugging it in overseas. If it lists “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, it’s built for global use and works on both 120V and 220-240V without needing a converter. Most modern electronics, like laptops, tablets, and cameras, support this.
