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