The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Hong Kong and Zambia.
| Hong Kong | Zambia | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | G, D, M | C, D, 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?
In Zambia there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type G
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type C
(Zambia)
Socket Type G
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type D
(Zambia)
Zambia also uses Socket Type G, which is used in Hong Kong. If using an appliance that has a Type G Plug in the Type G Sockets of Zambia, you will not need an adaptor.
In Zambia there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type D
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type C
(Zambia)
Socket Type D
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type G
(Zambia)
Zambia also uses Socket Type D, which is used in Hong Kong. If using an appliance that has a Type D Plug in the Type D Sockets of Zambia, you will not need an adaptor.
In Zambia there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type M
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type C
(Zambia)
Socket Type M
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type D
(Zambia)
Socket Type M
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type G
(Zambia)
The voltages found in Hong Kong (220V) and Zambia (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 Zambia is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
