What is the voltage of electricity supplied to houses in South Africa?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The standard voltage supplied to residential properties in South Africa is 230 volt single phase at 50 cycles per second (50 Hz). In some cases (by application) it is possible to get a 380 volt three phase power connected to the house.
Outlet receptacles (sockets) and plugs
There are two official South African socket and plug standards: type M and type N. Type M is ubiquitous, whereas type N is not so common. Appliances with a type C plug are very commonly found and used with a plug adapter in order to fit type M sockets. Type N sockets are compatible with C plugs. Besides type M and N (and C), the older type D sockets can also be found.

By special application a house-owner can apply to the local municipality to be provided with a three phase 380 volt electricity feed to the house. This is normally done if the house is large and have a big demand for power.

How does a transformer affect the electricity coming into a home?
The transformer provides the electricity at the right voltage for the house. In all countries it makes sense for all the houses to be fed with the same voltage, which simplifies the market for electrical applicances. Most countries use a standard voltage in the range 100-125 v or 220-240 v. The electrical energy has to be transmitted over long distances at a higher voltage unless you want to live next to a generator, so the transformer changes the voltage from a higher voltage like 6600 v to the correct voltage for the house, e.g. 230 v.
