Electric Socket Types, Voltage, and Plug Compatibility in Cambodia

Cambodia uses a mix of electric socket types, with most outlets supporting multiple plug shapes. The standard voltage is 230V with a frequency of 50Hz. Travelers should check plug compatibility and consider safety precautions.

• Plug types: Type A, Type C, and Type G are most common. Some outlets accept multiple types.
• Voltage and frequency: 230 volts, 50 Hz.
• Compatibility:
  • US plugs (Type A/B, 110V): Type A fits some outlets, but voltage converters are needed for non-dual-voltage devices.
  • UK plugs (Type G, 230V): Type G is widely used; adapters may be needed for other plug types.
  • EU plugs (Type C/E/F, 230V): Type C is common and compatible; Type E/F may fit some outlets.
  • AU plugs (Type I, 230V): Adapters required; voltage is compatible.
• Adapters and converters: Universal adapters are available at airports, hotels, and local shops.
• Safety tips: Use surge protectors for sensitive electronics. Some outlets may lack grounding. Power outages and voltage fluctuations can occur, especially in rural areas.
• Local practices: Multi-plug adapters and extension cords are common in hotels and guesthouses.
