πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦ South Africa to πŸ‡¬πŸ‡Ύ GuyanaSome of your plugs fit, some don't. It's complicated.

Some of your plugs fit Guyana's sockets directly. Grounded or chunkier ones need help.

What to pack

Plugbert recommends

Type A (US 2-pin) adapter

Some plugs from South Africa fit the Type A, B, D and G sockets in Guyana and some don't, so pack an adapter. A Type A (US 2-pin) adapter fits 2 of the 4 listed socket families there. For grounded devices, get a Type B (US 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 B (US 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.

Voltage & frequency

230 V

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡Ύ There

240 V

60 Hz

Check the voltage rating
Guyana uses 240 V and South Africa uses 230 V, but similar nominal voltages do not guarantee compatibility. Check that your device's input rating covers the destination supply.

The destination may use a different frequency (50 β†’ 60 Hz). Check your device's input rating for the local frequency; a plug adapter does not change it.
