The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Falkland Islands and Zimbabwe.
| Falkland Islands | Zimbabwe | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | G | D, G |
| Voltage | 240V | 220V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
Falkland Islands uses Plug Type G.
In Zimbabwe there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Falkland Islands) to Plug Type D
(Zimbabwe)
Zimbabwe also uses Socket Type G, which is used in Falkland Islands. If using an appliance that has a Type G Plug in the Type G Sockets of Zimbabwe, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Falkland Islands (240V) and Zimbabwe (220V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Falkland Islands and Zimbabwe is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
