The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Burkina Faso and France.
| Burkina Faso | France | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | C, E | E |
| Voltage | 220V | 230V |
| 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?
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Burkina Faso) to Plug Type E
(France)
No adaptor needed
France uses Socket Type E, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from Burkina Faso. You will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Burkina Faso (220V) and France (230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Burkina Faso and France is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
