How to tell the difference between a grounded and a non-grounded plug. Grounded plugs have three prongs and require a grounded adapter plug. Laptops often times will have a grounded plug. 

Latvia is located in Eastern Europe and uses the same adapters that Russia uses.  When traveling to Lativia it is important to take along the correct adapter plug for your trip.

The Deluxe Latvia Travel Adapter Kit comes with both grounded and non-grounded plugs and ships Priority Mail with tracking.

 

Adapter plugs allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter) unless your appliance is dual voltage. This adapter may NOT be used with appliances that have grounded plugs; for these you will need a grounded adapter.

Many of our customers find it handy to have multiple adaptors while traveling - either to run several appliances simultaneously or simply as a backup.

Grounded Adapter Plugs

If you are traveling with a grounded United States dual/multi-voltage appliance or using a grounded Transformer you will need to use a grounded adaptor plug. A grounded United States plug has two flat blades and one round pin.  Grounded plugs are also called earthed adapters.

Non-Grounded Adapter Plugs

Going In Style offers non-grounded adapter plugs for use with your voltage converter, transformer, or dual/multi voltage appliance. A non-grounded United States plug has two flat blades.  Non-grounded plugs are also called non-earthed adapters.

Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Latvia operates on 220 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

Computers and Apple Products

If you are traveling overseas with a Toshiba, HP, Lenovo, Asus, laptop or Apple device such as an iPad, chances are you won’t need a voltage converter. Most laptops are multi-voltage and will operate on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts. However, computers do need to make safe connections to foreign power systems and a surge protector is recommended and you will still need an adapter to use your plug.

Staying Connected

Latvia has recently made efforts focused on bringing competition to the telecommunications sector; the number of fixed telephone lines is decreasing as mobile-cellular telephone service expands. Combined fixed-line and mobile-cellular subscribership exceeds 125 per 100 persons. When travelling to Latvia, some you can take an international or unlocked cell phone with a prepaid Latvia SIM card. You can also contact your mobile service provider to set up an international calling plan. You will need an adapter to charge your phone. Most cell phone battery rechargers should be multi-voltage, therefore will not require a converter. If the charger says 100-240 volts, 50-60 cycles then your charger in multi-voltage.

Latvia has 315,889 internet hosts and 1.504 million internet users. Internet is available in internet cafes and in some hotels. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.
