The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Belgium and Benin.
| Belgium | Benin | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | E | E |
| Voltage | 230V | 220V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
Belgium uses Plug Type E.
No adaptor needed
Benin uses Socket Type E, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from Belgium. You will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Belgium (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 Belgium and Benin is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
