What adapter do I need for electricity in Uganda?

Yes. According to your own country's electrical rules, you might require a power adapter or converter to use the electricity in Uganda. This is what you should be aware of:

1. Power Plugs and Outlets: 

• Type G outlets: Type G power outlets are the same as those used in the UK and are mostly utilized in Uganda. The three rectangular prongs of a type G plug are arranged in a triangle.
• To suit Ugandan outlets, you will require a power adaptor if your gadgets don't utilize Type G plugs.

2. Frequency and Voltage:

• Voltage: In Uganda, 240V is the standard voltage.
• The frequency in question is 50 Hz.
• Your gadgets should function without a voltage converter if the standard voltage in your nation (such as the UK, Europe, and the majority of Asia) is between 220V and 240V.
• Nevertheless, unless your gadgets are dual voltage, you might require a voltage converter if they are from nations that utilize 110V, such as the United States or Canada.

3. Dual Voltage Devices:

• A lot of contemporary gadgets, like as phones, laptops, and camera chargers, are dual voltage (110-240V), which enables them to function in Uganda without the need for a voltage converter. To find out if your gadget is dual voltage, read the label on it or the charger.
• Should your gadget be dual voltage, all you'll need is a power adaptor to connect it to the outlets in Uganda.
