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