Senegal.

230 V · 50 Hz on Type C, Type E, Type D, Type K.

French wiring practice dominates: Type C and Type E sockets at 230 V, 50 Hz, with the IEC also recording older Type D and Danish-style Type K outlets. Plugs from France fit the common sockets directly; a europlug adapter covers most needs, though carrying one earthed option is wise in older buildings.

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.
