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