In the world there are different standards for the generation and transmission of electricity and, therefore, it is very important to review the electrical specification of each piece of equipment before connecting it to the electrical network of another country.

Before coming to Buenos Aires it is useful to know that the voltage (also called voltage) is 220 volts, the frequency is 50 Hz and the plugs and sockets are of the C / I type.

Although there are already some electronic equipment with multi-voltage INPUT values (that is, they can be used anywhere in the world), it is most likely that if in the country of residence of the person visiting Buenos Aires the voltage is outside from the 220 V to 240 V range, you need a voltage converter or transformer.

To plug in the equipment you will simply need an adapter. Type I power adapters can be found in any hardware store, even in kiosks or on the street where there are street vendors. Is it night? It does not matter! Buenos Aires never sleeps and it is most likely that in central or tourist areas it is possible to find one at any time.
