Fiji Travel Adapters

You will need to consider what to pack, to ensure you can use your personal electrical appliances safely while you are abroad. This normally includes the use of a travel adapter, which is a device that simply allows you to plug any US electrical appliance into a foreign electrical socket. It is important to note that it does not convert the voltage or frequency.

General Information: Fiji

For Fiji, there is one associated plug type: type I.

  • Plug type I has two flat pins in a V-shape as well as a grounding pin

Fiji operates on a 240V supply voltage and 50Hz.

Power plugs and sockets

In Fiji the power sockets used are of type I.  Use the photo below to help identify the right plug and socket.

Plug Type I

Plug adapters are the interfaces between the American flat-pronged plug and Fiji’s three flat-prong socket. These allow you to plug your electrical device into the Fiji wall socket, but they do not convert the electricity to the American 110 volts. If your appliance is designed to run only on 110-120 volts, you are likely to see smoke, if not fire, from this potent miss-mating. You will need a step-down voltage converter to safely step the voltage down from 240 to 110.

Voltage and frequency

You can use your electric appliances in Fiji, if the standard voltage in your country is in between 220 – 240 volts. Manufacturers take these small deviations into account. If the standard voltage in your country is in the range of 100-120 volts, you need a voltage converter in Fiji.  (In the US, electricity comes out of the wall socket at 110 volts, alternating at 60 cycles per second.)


If the frequency in Fiji (50 Hz) differs from the one in your country, it is not advised to use your appliances. But if there is no voltage difference, you could (at your own risk) try to use the appliance for a short time. Be especially careful with moving, rotating and time related appliances like clocks, shavers and electric fan heaters.

To be sure, check the label on the appliance. Some appliances never need a converter. If the label states ‘INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz’ the appliance can be used in all countries in the world. Devices like this include most laptops and phones, most recently produced battery chargers, and many small, electrical gadgets, especially those designed for world travel.
