Zambia - power plug and socket
In Zambia , electrical sockets and plugs are type C, D or G. Type
C has two round pins, type
D has three round
pins in a triangular pattern and type
G has three rectangular pins in a
triangular pattern.
In country Zambia is voltage 230 V and the voltage frequency is 50 Hz.
If the voltage in your country is between 220V - 250V (as is in the Europe, Australia and most of
Asia) you can use your equipment. If your devices are only made for 100V - 127V (as is in the US,
Canada and most South American countries) you cannot use them and you will need a voltage converter
or a voltage converter with a type C, D or
G adapter. If the voltage frequency in your country is different from
Zambia (230 V), some devices may not work properly.
Check the markings on the device before traveling. Each electrical device has a label (often on the
charger) stating at which volt range and frequency it works - example “INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz”.
If this range is also in the target country, you do not need a voltage converter, just check the
type of socket / plug. More information about
the voltage converter can be found here.
Many modern hotels are equipped with several types of electrical outlets. If you already have a
selected hotel where you will be staying, call there and ask about the types of electrical outlets.
