The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Kiribati and Tuvalu.
| Kiribati | Tuvalu | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | I | I |
| Voltage | 240V | 220V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
Kiribati uses Plug Type I.
No adaptor needed
Tuvalu uses Socket Type I, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from Kiribati. You will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Kiribati (240V) and Tuvalu (220V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Kiribati and Tuvalu is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
