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