During my trips to Chile, I’ve gained some valuable insights about their power supply that I’m excited to share with you. In Chile, the standard voltage is 220 volts. This is significantly higher than what we’re used to in the United States, where our devices typically operate at 120 volts.

Does Chile have a 240 volt power supply?

Chile has a 220-240 voltage supply. You will only need a converter if you plan to use an electronic device that is not dual-voltage and not compatible with 220-240V. For example, a non-dual-voltage hair dryer made in the U.S. would be compatible with a 120-voltage supply and would not work in Chile. (It would overheat).
