Ascension Island Travel Adapters

Type G • 230 volts • 50 Hz

Ascension Island is a remote volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean and part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. The island hosts a small population connected to military, communications, and research facilities. The main settlement and administrative center is Georgetown, and the local currency used on the island is the Saint Helena pound.

Ascension Island follows electrical standards used in the United Kingdom, with mains electricity supplied at about 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use the British Type G plug with three rectangular pins. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter to connect their devices safely. Visitors from 120-volt countries should confirm that their devices are labeled 100–240V before plugging in, or use an appropriate voltage converter.

Plug types are listed because they are encountered in at least some installations. Presence may be partial, legacy, mixed, or situational. A travel adapter, also spelled travel adaptor, changes plug fit only; a voltage converter, sometimes searched as a voltage convertor, is needed only for devices that are not dual voltage. No plug type is excluded due to limited or declining use.
