The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
| Solomon Islands | Papua New Guinea | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | G, I | I |
| Voltage | 220V | 240V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Solomon Islands there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Solomon Islands) to Plug Type I
(Papua New Guinea)
No adaptor needed
Papua New Guinea uses Socket Type I, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from Solomon Islands. You will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Solomon Islands (220V) and Papua New Guinea (240V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
