230 V · 50 Hz on Type G.

Type GBritish 13 A plug13 A · earthed

British-pattern wiring: 230 V 50 Hz through fused three-pin Type G sockets, the same as the UK. British plugs work unchanged; continental Europeans and North Americans both need a Type G adapter, and 120 V-only appliances need to be dual-voltage. Mains supply can be intermittent outside the coastal resorts.

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.

Pack an adapter — Gambia runs 230 V 50 Hz on Type G — and your 120 V appliances need to be dual-voltage or transformed, adapter or not.
