The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Sierra Leone and Ethiopia.
| Sierra Leone | Ethiopia | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | D, G | D, J, L |
| Voltage | 230V | 220V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Sierra Leone there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Ethiopia there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type D
(Sierra Leone) to Plug Type J
(Ethiopia)
Socket Type D
(Sierra Leone) to Plug Type L
(Ethiopia)
Ethiopia also uses Socket Type D, which is used in Sierra Leone. If using an appliance that has a Type D Plug in the Type D Sockets of Ethiopia, you will not need an adaptor.
In Ethiopia there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type G
(Sierra Leone) to Plug Type D
(Ethiopia)
Socket Type G
(Sierra Leone) to Plug Type J
(Ethiopia)
Socket Type G
(Sierra Leone) to Plug Type L
(Ethiopia)
The voltages found in Sierra Leone (230V) and Ethiopia (220V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Sierra Leone and Ethiopia is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
