🇲🇻 Maldives to 🇿🇦 South AfricaSome of your plugs fit, some don't. It's complicated.
Some of your plugs fit South Africa's sockets directly. Grounded or chunkier ones need help.
What to pack
Plugbert recommends
Type C (Europlug) adapter
Some plugs from the Maldives fit the Type C, D, M and N sockets in South Africa and some don't, so pack an adapter. 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.
