Main Voltage in Gabon

Do I Need a Voltage Converter in Gabon?

Gabon runs on a main voltage of 220 volts at a frequency of 50 Hz. This is effectively the same as India's 230V/50Hz. You can plug any Indian device into a Gabon socket without a voltage converter, as long as the plug shape fits.

Will my Indian charger work in Gabon?

Yes, your Indian charger works in Gabon without any adapter. Gabon uses Type C sockets at 220V/50Hz. Your Indian phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage (the label reads 100–240V), so they handle Gabon voltage without any issue. The only question is plug shape — your Indian Type C and D plugs fit Gabon sockets directly, so just plug in and charge. You do not need a voltage converter — Gabon's 220V is the same as India's 230V.
