The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Sri Lanka and Malaysia.
| Sri Lanka | Malaysia | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | D, M, G | G, M |
| Voltage | 230V | 240V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Sri Lanka there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Malaysia there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type D
(Sri Lanka) to Plug Type G
(Malaysia)
Socket Type D
(Sri Lanka) to Plug Type M
(Malaysia)
In Malaysia there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type D
(Sri Lanka) to Plug Type G
(Malaysia)
Malaysia also uses Socket Type M, which is used in Sri Lanka. If using an appliance that has a Type M Plug in the Type M Sockets of Malaysia, you will not need an adaptor.
In Malaysia there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type D
(Sri Lanka) to Plug Type M
(Malaysia)
Malaysia also uses Socket Type G, which is used in Sri Lanka. If using an appliance that has a Type G Plug in the Type G Sockets of Malaysia, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Sri Lanka (230V) and Malaysia (240V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Sri Lanka and Malaysia is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
