240 V · 50 Hz on Type G.

Type GBritish 13 A plug13 A · earthed

A straight inheritance from British wiring practice: Type G sockets throughout, on a 240 V, 50 Hz supply at the top of the 230 V family. UK plugs work unmodified. Travellers from continental Europe need only a shape adapter, while 120 V appliances need dual-voltage support or a converter.

The voltage window

A nominal 240 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 216 and 264 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.

Pack an adapter — Kenya runs 240 V 50 Hz on Type G — and your 120 V appliances need to be dual-voltage or transformed, adapter or not.
