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