Singapore Local Reference INFOrmation
Information on the domestic power available, wall socket plugs and voltage of kitchen and living room (fridges, TVs) appliances. Also information on the television standards used in Singapore
Singapore's standard electricity supply is 230 volts AC with a frequency of 50 hertz (230V/50Hz). Plugs and socketsSingapore uses a Type-G plug and for wall sockets. This is a flat three-pin plug (as used in the UK). Types-D or -M (old UK round three-pin plugs) are also found (see here). Replacement plugs and Type-A (flat two-pin) and Type-C (Euro round two-pin) adapters are readily available. Electrical AppliancesA 120-volt electrical appliance designed for use in North America or Japan will not work in Singapore. Electric appliances need to be 230V/50Hz (although appliances set for 220 to 240 volts will operate).TelevisionsThere are three main television/video standards in use throughout the world: PAL, NSTC and SECAM. Televisions must have PAL system to work in Singapore. However this is different to the UK/European PAL system. TV sets from the USA, Canada and Japan (NSTC) will not work, and neither will those from France and Eastern Europe (SECAM). A multi-system TV will work in Singapore as it should include PAL.
