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