From Brazil to Luxembourg
When travelling from Brazil to Luxembourg: Some of your Brazil plug types fit in Luxembourg (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (127V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

- Will my Brazil plug work in Luxembourg?
- Partly. Some of your Brazil plug types (Type C) fit Luxembourg sockets, but others do not. Bring a compact adapter for the rest.
- What plug type does Luxembourg use?
- Luxembourg uses Type C, Type F. The supply is 230V at 50Hz.
- Do I need a voltage converter for Luxembourg when travelling from Brazil?
- Luxembourg runs on 230V, while Brazil uses 127V / 220V. Check your charger label for a 100 to 240V rating; if it does not list 230V you will also need a voltage converter.
- Is the electrical frequency in Luxembourg the same as Brazil?
- Frequency in Luxembourg is 50Hz, while Brazil uses 60Hz. Modern phone and laptop chargers handle either, but clocks, motors, and some heating appliances may behave incorrectly.
