The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Hong Kong and Malawi.
| Hong Kong | Malawi | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | G, D, M | G |
| Voltage | 220V | 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Hong Kong there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
No adaptor needed
Malawi uses Socket Type G, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from Hong Kong. You will not need an adaptor.
You will need this adaptor:

The voltages found in Hong Kong (220V) and Malawi (230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Hong Kong and Malawi is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
