Electric Socket Types, Voltage, and Plug Compatibility in Armenia

Armenia uses European-style electrical sockets and plugs. The standard voltage is 230V with a frequency of 50Hz. Travelers should check plug compatibility and voltage requirements before use.

• Plug types: Type C (Europlug) and Type F (Schuko) are standard throughout Armenia.
• Voltage and frequency: 230 volts, 50 Hz.
• Compatibility: Devices from most European countries (EU) are compatible. Travelers from the US, UK, and Australia will need plug adapters. US devices may also require a voltage converter if not rated for 220–240V.
• Adapters and converters: Adapters are widely available at airports, electronics stores, and some hotels. Voltage converters are less common; bring one if your device is not dual voltage.
• Safety tips: Use surge protectors for sensitive electronics. Ensure plugs are fully inserted to avoid loose connections. Grounding is standard with Type F sockets.
• Local practices: Multi-plug adapters are commonly used in homes and hotels. Occasional power outages may occur, especially outside major cities.
