Somalia.

220 V · 50 Hz on Type C.

Type CEuroplug2.5 A · unearthed

The IEC records only the two-pin Type C socket for Somalia, on a 220 V, 50 Hz supply. Europlug devices fit directly, and there is no standard earthed socket to rely on — grounded appliances have nothing to earth to. Mains reliability varies widely, so many premises run on generators.

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.

Pack an adapter — Somalia runs 220 V 50 Hz on Type C — and your 120 V appliances need to be dual-voltage or transformed, adapter or not.
