Voltage and frequency

The Pakistani power grid supplies electricity at 230 volts and 50 Hz. Always check the voltage and frequency ratings of your devices before plugging them in. Many devices, such as phone chargers, are dual-voltage and can be used in Pakistan without a voltage converter. However, some devices, such as hair dryers, are often not dual-voltage and will require a voltage converter to operate safely.
