AC power in Tunisia

• Power plugs: The most common used power plugs in Tunisia are those TYPE E. Indeed, the plugs TYPE C and TYPE F can also be used there.More information about power plugs can be found at Conrad H. McGregor's web page about world standards.
• Voltage - 230 Volts: International AC outlet adapters do not convert electric current. If an appliance does not accept 220-240 volt current, serious damage can result if a step down transformer is not also used to convert the current to 110-120 volts. Step down transformers convert 220/240 volt electricity to 110/120 volts for American appliances.
• Frequency - 50 Hz: In Tunisia, the 220-240 volt electricity is generated at 50 Hz (cycles). This difference in cycles may cause the motor in a 60 Hz North American appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50 Hz. Please note that many 60Hz devices such as clocks may not function normally on 50Hz current.
