Electrical System Overview
Brazil uses Type N plugs at varying voltages—127V in some cities (São Paulo, Rio) and 220V in others (Brasília, Salvador). ALWAYS check the local voltage before plugging in, as getting it wrong can destroy your devices. Brazil adopted Type N as its standard, though Type C also works.
