The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both France and Benin.
| France | Benin | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | E | E |
| Voltage | 230V | 220V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
France uses Plug Type E.
No adaptor needed
Benin uses Socket Type E, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from France. You will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in France (230V) and Benin (220V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in France and Benin is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
