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