The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Algeria and Monaco.
Algeria | Monaco | |
---|---|---|
Plug Types | C, F | C, D, E, F |
Voltage | 230V | 127V, 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?
In Monaco there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type C
(Algeria) to Plug Type D
(Monaco)
Socket Type C
(Algeria) to Plug Type E
(Monaco)
Socket Type C
(Algeria) to Plug Type F
(Monaco)
Monaco 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 Monaco, you will not need an adaptor.
In Monaco there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type F
(Algeria) to Plug Type C
(Monaco)
Socket Type F
(Algeria) to Plug Type D
(Monaco)
Socket Type F
(Algeria) to Plug Type E
(Monaco)
Monaco also uses Socket Type F, which is used in Algeria. If using an appliance that has a Type F Plug in the Type F Sockets of Monaco, you will not need an adaptor.
Check if your appliance is compatible with the voltages used in Monaco
The voltage, 127V, is used in parts of Monaco 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 Monaco (127V and 220V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, and you wish to use it in parts of Monaco where this voltage is present, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Monaco.
The voltage, 220V, which is also present in Algeria, is not exactly the same to what's used in Monaco, 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 Monaco. 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 found in Algeria and Monaco is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
