This Outlet at my Apartment in Brazil was Crazy, USA Vs. Brazil Electric, Type N Plug, Thoughts?

What happens here

The video creator then states, "I had to install this myself, believe it or not, in my own Airbnb," while pointing to a standard US Type B electrical outlet now present in the kitchen area. While the actual process of removing an existing Type N outlet and installing the US-style outlet is *not shown* in the video, this step represents the practical implementation of the solution. This DIY task would typically involve turning off power to the circuit at the main breaker, carefully removing the old outlet from its wall box, connecting the new US-standard outlet's wires (hot, neutral, ground) to the corresponding electrical lines, and securing it into the wall box before restoring power.

Goal: Create an electrical connection compatible with US plugs.

Tools and materials

  • Insulated gloves — To provide an extra layer of protection against electrical shock
  • Non-contact voltage tester — To confirm power is off before working on electrical wiring
  • Screwdriver set — To remove the old outlet and install the new one
  • Standard US Type B Electrical Outlet — To install and provide compatibility for US devices
  • Wire strippers — To strip insulation from electrical wires
  • Electrical tape — To insulate exposed wire connections
  • Wire nuts — To securely connect electrical wires

standard outlet right here. I had to install this myself, believe it or not. Okay? in my own Airbnb because I only had these type of plugs. So guys, the moral of the story is if you come to Brazil to accommodate for these plugs because you need to make sure you have a charged phone. And I had to make sure my stuff was charged.
