The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Algeria and Brazil.
Algeria | Brazil | |
---|---|---|
Plug Types | C, F | A, B, C |
Voltage | 230V | 110V, 220V |
Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 60Hz |
In Algeria there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Brazil there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type C
(Algeria) to Plug Type A
(Brazil)
Socket Type C
(Algeria) to Plug Type B
(Brazil)
Brazil also uses Socket Type C, which is used in Algeria. If using an appliance that has a Type C Plug in the Type C Sockets of Brazil, you will not need an adaptor.
In Brazil there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type F
(Algeria) to Plug Type A
(Brazil)
Socket Type F
(Algeria) to Plug Type B
(Brazil)
Socket Type F
(Algeria) to Plug Type C
(Brazil)
Check if your appliance is compatible with the voltages used in Brazil
The voltage, 110V, is used in parts of Brazil but not in Algeria.
Some appliances are compatible with multiple voltages. To find out if your appliance is one of them, check the appliance label and/or instruction booklet.
See examples of appliance labels
Is your appliance compatible with the voltages used in Brazil (110V and 220V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, and you wish to use it in parts of Brazil where this voltage is present, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Brazil.
The voltage, 220V, which is also present in Algeria, is not exactly the same to what's used in Brazil, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer when using sockets with this voltage. Be sure to carefully check the voltage before using your appliance in sockets in Brazil. You may need to ask a local, and electrician, or the local government to find out in situations when the power sockets are not labelled with their voltages.

The frequency of electrical current found in Algeria (50Hz) differs to that found in Brazil (60Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
