Indonesia Travel Adapter Kit | Going In Style

Indonesia is located in Southeastern Asia bordering the India Ocean.  Nearby countries include Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Singapore.  All of Indonesia's nearby countries use unique adapter plugs.  Indonesia uses a Continental Europe that is used in many countries in Europe.

These adaptor plugs enable your appliance's plug configuration to fit into Oceania electrical power outlets. 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. Grounded adapter plugs maintain the ground from the electrical outlet to your appliance.

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.

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.

Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Indonesia 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, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba 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.

Converter- Changing Current Voltage

Going in Style adapters allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. Adapter plugs DO NOT convert voltage and only change the configuration of the pins. When voltage conversion is needed, use an electricity converter. An electricity converter changes the voltage input into your appliance. The United States electrical appliances operate on a lower current of 110-120 volts AC (Alternating Current). Most of the world operates on 220-240 volts AC. Therefore converter units enable your electronic and non-electronic appliances to run on foreign electricity (220-240 volts) to match the voltage requirements of your 110-120 volt device. Failure to run your appliance with a converter could damage your appliance.

About Indonesia

Geography

Indonesia is located in Southeastern Asia, archipelago between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and its area is three times the size of Texas. Its climate is tropical; hot, humid; more moderate in highlands. The terrain is mostly coastal lowlands; larger islands have interior mountains. Indonesia is an archipelago of 17,508 islands (6,000 inhabited)

Currency

Currency in Indonesia is the Rupiah (IDR). Credit cards are widely accepted throughout in major cities, but it is advisable to carry a small amount of cash. Foreign currency and travelers’ cheques can be exchanged at most banks and some hotels.

Staying Connected

Indonesia domestic service includes an interisland microwave system, an HF radio police net, and a domestic satellite communications system. Domestic coverage is provided by existing network that has been expanded by use of over 200,000 telephone kiosks many located in remote areas; mobile-cellular subscribership growing rapidly. Cell phone coverage is best in major cities. When travelling to Indonesia you will want to take an international or unlocked cell phone with a prepaid Indonesia 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.

Indonesia has 1.342 million internet hosts and over 20 million internet users. Internet access is available in internet cafes and in some larger hotels. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.
