to Plug Type C

Uzbekistan 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 Uzbekistan, you will not need an adaptor.

Considerations

Voltage

The voltages found in Papua New Guinea (240V) and Uzbekistan (220V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.

Good to know

Frequency of Electrical Current

The frequency found in Papua New Guinea and Uzbekistan is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
