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