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