Chad.

220 V · 50 Hz on Type C, Type E, Type D, Type F.

A 220 V 50 Hz grid with a wider socket mix than most of francophone Africa: Type C and E dominate, joined by Indian-style D and Schuko F in places. Continental European plugs cover most outlets; a universal adapter closes the gap.

The voltage window

A nominal 220 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 198 and 242 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.
