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