The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Singapore and South Africa.
| Singapore | South Africa | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | G | M, N |
| Voltage | 230V | 220V, 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
Singapore uses Plug Type G.
In South Africa there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type G
(Singapore) to Plug Type M
(South Africa)
Socket Type G
(Singapore) to Plug Type N
(South Africa)
The voltages found in Singapore (230V) and South Africa (220V and 230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Singapore and South Africa is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
