The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Eritrea and Zambia.
| Eritrea | Zambia | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | C | C, D, G |
| Voltage | 230V | 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
Eritrea uses Plug Type C.
In Zambia there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type C
(Eritrea) to Plug Type D
(Zambia)
Socket Type C
(Eritrea) to Plug Type G
(Zambia)
Zambia 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 Zambia, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltage found in Eritrea and Zambia is exactly the same (230V). You will not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Eritrea and Zambia is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
