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