Côte d'Ivoire.

230 V · 50 Hz on Type C, Type E.

French-standard wiring at 230 V 50 Hz: two-pin Type C sockets alongside earthed Type E with its protruding ground pin. Plugs from France or most of continental Europe fit directly; UK and North American visitors should bring their own adapters.

The voltage window

A nominal 230 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 207 and 253 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.
