The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Algeria and Benin.
| Algeria | Benin | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | C, F | E |
| Voltage | 230V | 220V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Algeria there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type C
(Algeria) to Plug Type E
(Benin)
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type F
(Algeria) to Plug Type E
(Benin)
The voltages found in Algeria (230V) and Benin (220V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Algeria and Benin is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
