Gabon.

220 V · 50 Hz on Type C.

Type CEuroplug2.5 A · unearthed

Simple by the standards of the region: 220 V 50 Hz delivered through two-pin Type C sockets, so any europlug or French-style plug fits. There is no earthed socket standard to count on, which matters for appliances that expect one. UK and North American visitors need an adapter and a voltage check.

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.
