Is your appliance compatible with the voltage used in Sierra Leone (230V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Sierra Leone.
The frequency of electrical current found in Ecuador (60Hz) differs to that found in Sierra Leone (50Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
