The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Burkina Faso and Malawi.
| Burkina Faso | Malawi | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | C, E | G |
| Voltage | 220V | 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Burkina Faso there's more than one plug type in use.

The voltages found in Burkina Faso (220V) and Malawi (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 Malawi is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
