π¨π° Cook Islands to πΏπ¦ South AfricaDifferent holes, friend. Bring an adapter.
South Africa uses 230 V and the Cook Islands uses 240 V, but similar nominal voltages do not guarantee compatibility. Check that your device's input rating covers the destination supply.
What to pack
Plugbert recommends
Type C (Europlug) adapter
You need a plug adapter. Plugs from the Cook Islands (Type I) don't fit the Type C, D, M and N sockets in South Africa. A Type C (Europlug) adapter fits 2 of the 4 listed socket families there. For grounded devices, get a Type D (Indian 3-pin) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet instead; it does not fit every listed outlet. Socket variants can differ; check the actual outlet and adapter rating.
For equipment requiring earth, choose a Type D (Indian 3-pin) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet. Check its supported inputs and rated load. A two-pin output cannot provide an earth connection.
Tip: a "universal" travel adapter may be useful for several destinations. Check its wall-side plugs, grounding and power limits against your trip.
