In Turkey, the electrical system operates at a standard frequency of 220 Volts, 50 Hz, and generally uses European-type plugs with round prongs that fit into recessed wall sockets. Therefore, you will need a voltage converter and plug adapter to use the electrical devices you brought from the USA.

Since the electrical system used in the USA is 120 Volt, 60 Hz, electrical devices brought from the USA cannot be directly plugged into sockets in Turkey. The voltage converter is necessary for your device to adapt to 220 Volts in Turkey and prevents your device from being overloaded or damaged.

Additionally, because typical plugs used in the US and outlets in Turkey are different, it is important to obtain a universal adapter and converter kit so you can use your devices comfortably. These kits are often designed to comply with different country standards and can come in handy during your travels.

It is important to remember that you must have the appropriate voltage converter and plug adapter to use your electronic devices when traveling to Turkey. These simple precautions will help you use your electrical devices safely and efficiently during your trip.
