Electrical Sockets

Standard Voltage and Frequency

The standard voltage in Kuwait is 240V and the frequency is 50Hz. This voltage is significantly higher than in the United States and some electronics can become overwhelmed and break as a result of being plugged in. Ensure that any electronics you bring with you are compatible with the higher voltage. Most devices will be, but it is still important to check.

If your device is only compatible with a 120V connection, then you must buy an electrical transformer that can help to manage the level of electrical input.
