The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both New Zealand and Kiribati.
| New Zealand | Kiribati | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | I | I |
| Voltage | 230V | 240V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
New Zealand uses Plug Type I.
No adaptor needed
Kiribati uses Socket Type I, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from New Zealand. You will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in New Zealand (230V) and Kiribati (240V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in New Zealand and Kiribati is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
