The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Malawi and Cape Verde.
| Malawi | Cape Verde | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | G | C, F |
| Voltage | 230V | 220V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
Malawi uses Plug Type G.
In Cape Verde there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.

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