Sockets in Trincomalee
Trincomalee uses Type D and G plugs and sockets.
Type D
Type D sockets have three large round pins in a triangular shape. Unlike Type G, they lack a fuse and the pins are round rather than rectangular.
Type G
Type G sockets have three rectangular pins arranged in a triangular pattern, with a built-in fuse for safety. They are the standard used in the United Kingdom.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Trincomalee
Through detailed reviews and real-world testing, we’ve identified the adaptor that best balances safety, speed, durability and price.
Left your adaptor at home? Airports and local shops tend to have them. But having your own is safer, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Trincomalee is usually visited together with India and the Maldives. Plug types are often similar but still worth confirming before you go.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Converters only matter when voltages clash. In Trincomalee the supply is pretty much the same as the UK’s, so you’re sorted.
Don’t forget to check the voltage label on your device before use overseas. If it’s stamped ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, it’ll work in most places without a converter.
