The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Romania and Switzerland.
| Romania | Switzerland | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | C, F | C, J |
| Voltage | 220V, 230V | 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Romania there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Switzerland there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Romania) to Plug Type J
(Switzerland)
Switzerland also uses Socket Type C, which is used in Romania. If using an appliance that has a Type C Plug in the Type C Sockets of Switzerland, you will not need an adaptor.
In Switzerland there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type F
(Romania) to Plug Type C
(Switzerland)
Socket Type F
(Romania) to Plug Type J
(Switzerland)
The voltages found in Romania (220V and 230V) are the same as those found in Switzerland. As there are multiple voltages present, care should be taken to ensure your appliance is compatible with the power outlet you are using.
The frequency found in Romania and Switzerland is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
