What is the voltage of electricity supplied to houses in South Africa?

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 plugsThere 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.For more information see the Related Link "Electricity around the world" shown below.


Can you recharge your cell phone in the US using my South African charger?

Yes, you can recharge your cell phone in the US using a South African charger, but you'll need a plug adapter since South Africa uses Type M plugs while the US uses Type A and B plugs. Additionally, ensure that your charger is compatible with the voltage in the US, which is typically 120V, as most modern chargers are designed to handle a range of voltages. If your charger doesn't support this voltage, using it could damage your device.


Can you use english extension lead from a travel plug in france?

Yes, you can use an English extension lead with a travel plug in France, provided that the travel plug is compatible with the French socket type (Type C or E). However, ensure that the voltage and amperage ratings of the devices connected to the extension lead match the French electrical standards (230V, 50Hz). Additionally, be cautious of the total load to avoid overloading the extension lead.


Would South African 230 volts appliance work on 240 volts in Australia?

What is the common way of referring to a plug and its corresponding socket as per the electrical engineering terminology?

Plug and socket, plug and socket outlet, plug and receptacle or plain plug and outlet all seem to be in common usage in the US. Plug and socket is possibly the only wording commonly used in the UK. [Plug and socket outlet sounds ok to a me, as a Brit, but we never really use that expression in the UK. Plug and outlet or plug and receptacle actually sound very strange!]
