Electric Socket Types, Voltage, and Plug Compatibility in Chile

Type C

Type L

Chile uses specific electric socket types and voltage standards that travelers should be aware of to ensure device compatibility and safety.

  • Plug types: Type C and Type L are the most common socket types in Chile.
  • Voltage and frequency: Standard supply is 220–230 volts, 50 Hz.
  • Compatibility: Devices from most European countries (Type C) are generally compatible. Type L is less common internationally.
  • Travelers from the US, UK, and Australia: Plugs from these regions (Types A, B, G, I) are not directly compatible. Adapters are required. Voltage converters may be needed for devices not rated for 220–230V.
  • Safety tips: Use surge protectors for sensitive electronics. Ensure adapters are grounded if your device requires it.
  • Availability: Adapters are commonly available at Santiago International Airport, major hotels, and electronics stores.
  • Local practices: Multi-plug adapters are widely used in homes and hotels. Occasional power outages may occur, especially in remote areas.
