The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both New Zealand and Benin.
| New Zealand | Benin | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | I | E |
| Voltage | 230V | 220V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
New Zealand uses Plug Type I.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(New Zealand) to Plug Type E
(Benin)
The voltages found in New Zealand (230V) and Benin (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 Benin is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
