Eritrea.

230 V · 50 Hz on Type C, Type L.

The Italian influence lingers at the wall: 230 V 50 Hz through Type C sockets and the three-in-a-row Italian Type L. Europlugs fit both, so continental travellers are covered with nothing extra. Power cuts are routine outside major hotels, and voltage sags make a regulator sensible for delicate electronics.

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.
