Anguilla uses 110V at 60Hz as its standard household electrical supply. If you're moving appliances between Anguilla and North America (120V/60Hz), both voltage and frequency are worth checking before you plug anything in.
The good news: Anguilla runs on 60Hz, the same frequency used in the United States and Canada. That means motors, clocks, timers, and other frequency-sensitive appliances will run at the correct speed without a dedicated frequency converter. In most cases a voltage transformer alone is enough to handle the 110V vs. 120V difference — a full frequency converter isn't required for equipment moving between Anguilla and North America.
Frequency conversion still matters if you're bringing appliances designed for a 50Hz country (most of Europe, Africa, and Asia) into Anguilla, or taking Anguilla-spec appliances onward to a 50Hz destination.
Since Anguilla runs at 110V, a US-spec 120V appliance would need its voltage stepped up, and a local appliance from Anguilla would need its voltage stepped down to run on North American 120V power.
A plug adapter only changes the physical shape of the plug — it doesn't change voltage or frequency at all. If the appliance isn't rated for Anguilla's 110V/60Hz supply, a plug adapter alone can damage it.
No — check the rating label on the back or bottom of each appliance. Many modern electronics (phone chargers, laptops) are dual-voltage and frequency-tolerant. Motor-driven and timing-based appliances are the ones that need real conversion.
