The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Channel Islands and Malta.
| Channel Islands | Malta | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | C, G | G |
| Voltage | 230V | 240V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Channel Islands there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Channel Islands) to Plug Type G
(Malta)
No adaptor needed
Malta uses Socket Type G, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from Channel Islands. You will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Channel Islands (230V) and Malta (240V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Channel Islands and Malta is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
