The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both South Africa and Iran.
| South Africa | Iran | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | M | C |
| Voltage | 220V, 230V | 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
South Africa uses Plug Type M.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type M
(South Africa) to Plug Type C
(Iran)
The voltages found in South Africa (220V and 230V) are the same as those found in Iran. 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 South Africa and Iran is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
