There is no need for a voltage converter in DR Congo, when traveling from Australia.To confirm, check if your devices require a voltage converter by looking at the 'INPUT' label, typically found on the power adapter or charger. If the label shows "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz," the device is built to handle different voltage and frequency ranges, meaning you’ll only need a plug adapter for the outlets in DR Congo. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
Yes, since Australia and DR Congo use similar voltages (230 V and 220 V) and the same frequency (50 Hz), you can use your Australian hair dryer in DR Congo without needing a voltage converter.
Yes, you can use your laptop or smartphone in DR Congo without any issues, as the voltages are similar (230 V and 220 V) and the frequency the same in both countries (50 Hz).
Yes, your Australian curling iron or flat iron will work in DR Congo without needing a voltage converter, since the voltages used in both countries are similar (230 V and 220 V) and the frequency the same (50 Hz).
Yes, when traveling from Australia, you will need a power adapter for type C, D and E power outlets in DR Congo.
No, you do not need a voltage converter since the voltages used in Australia and DR Congo are compatible (230 V and 220 V) and the frequency is the same (50 Hz).
See if your power plugs from Australia fit into the sockets of other destinations and whether you need a voltage converter.
