The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Kenya and Malawi.
| Kenya | Malawi | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | G | G |
| Voltage | 240V | 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
Kenya uses Plug Type G.
No adaptor needed
Malawi uses Socket Type G, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from Kenya. You will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Kenya (240V) and Malawi (230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Kenya and Malawi is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
