The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Sri Lanka and Nepal.
| Sri Lanka | Nepal | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | D, M, G | C, D, M |
| Voltage | 230V | 230V |
| 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 Nepal there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type D
(Sri Lanka) to Plug Type C
(Nepal)
Socket Type D
(Sri Lanka) to Plug Type M
(Nepal)
Nepal also uses Socket Type D, which is used in Sri Lanka. If using an appliance that has a Type D Plug in the Type D Sockets of Nepal, you will not need an adaptor.
