The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Philippines and Rwanda.
Philippines | Rwanda | |
---|---|---|
Plug Types | A, B, C | C, J |
Voltage | 220V | 230V |
Frequency of electrical current | 60Hz | 50Hz |
In Philippines there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Rwanda there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type A
(Philippines) to Plug Type C
(Rwanda)
Socket Type A
(Philippines) to Plug Type J
(Rwanda)
In Rwanda there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type B
(Philippines) to Plug Type C
(Rwanda)
Socket Type B
(Philippines) to Plug Type J
(Rwanda)
In Rwanda there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type B
(Philippines) to Plug Type J
(Rwanda)
Rwanda also uses Socket Type C, which is used in Philippines. If using an appliance that has a Type C Plug in the Type C Sockets of Rwanda, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Philippines (220V) and Rwanda (230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency of electrical current found in Philippines (60Hz) differs to that found in Rwanda (50Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
