115 V · 50 Hz on Type A, Type B.

One of the odder combinations in the region: American Type A and B sockets at 115 V, but on a 50 Hz supply rather than the 60 Hz the plug shape implies. Most electronics cope fine; motorised appliances and clocks that count mains cycles may run slow.

The voltage window

A nominal 115 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 104 and 127 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.

Plug straight in Barbados runs 115 V 50 Hz on Type A, Type B. Mains frequency differs; anything with a synchronous motor or clock will care.
