The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste.
| Papua New Guinea | Timor-Leste | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | I | C, E, F, I |
| Voltage | 240V | 220V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
Papua New Guinea uses Plug Type I.
In Timor-Leste there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type I
(Papua New Guinea) to Plug Type C
(Timor-Leste)
Socket Type I
(Papua New Guinea) to Plug Type E
(Timor-Leste)
Socket Type I
(Papua New Guinea) to Plug Type F
(Timor-Leste)
Timor-Leste also uses Socket Type I, which is used in Papua New Guinea. If using an appliance that has a Type I Plug in the Type I Sockets of Timor-Leste, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Papua New Guinea (240V) and Timor-Leste (220V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
