The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Mozambique and South Africa.
| Mozambique | South Africa | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | C, F, M | M, N |
| Voltage | 220V | 220V, 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Mozambique there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In South Africa there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type C
(Mozambique) to Plug Type M
(South Africa)
Socket Type C
(Mozambique) to Plug Type N
(South Africa)
In South Africa there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type F
(Mozambique) to Plug Type M
(South Africa)
Socket Type F
(Mozambique) to Plug Type N
(South Africa)
In South Africa there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type F
(Mozambique) to Plug Type N
(South Africa)
South Africa also uses Socket Type M, which is used in Mozambique. If using an appliance that has a Type M Plug in the Type M Sockets of South Africa, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Mozambique (220V) and South Africa (220V and 230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Mozambique and South Africa is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
