The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Burkina Faso and Afghanistan.
| Burkina Faso | Afghanistan | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | C, E | C, D, F |
| Voltage | 220V | 240V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Burkina Faso there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Afghanistan there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type C
(Burkina Faso) to Plug Type D
(Afghanistan)
Socket Type C
(Burkina Faso) to Plug Type F
(Afghanistan)
Afghanistan also uses Socket Type C, which is used in Burkina Faso. If using an appliance that has a Type C Plug in the Type C Sockets of Afghanistan, you will not need an adaptor.
In Afghanistan there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type E
(Burkina Faso) to Plug Type C
(Afghanistan)
Socket Type E
(Burkina Faso) to Plug Type D
(Afghanistan)
Socket Type E
(Burkina Faso) to Plug Type F
(Afghanistan)
The voltages found in Burkina Faso (220V) and Afghanistan (240V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Burkina Faso and Afghanistan is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
