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