The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Cape Verde and Iceland.
| Cape Verde | Iceland | |
|---|---|---|
| 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 Iceland there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Cape Verde) to Plug Type F
(Iceland)
Iceland 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 Iceland, you will not need an adaptor.
In Iceland there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Cape Verde) to Plug Type C
(Iceland)
Iceland 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 Iceland, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Cape Verde (220V) and Iceland (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 Iceland is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
