Travel Plug Adaptor for Sri Lanka

There are multiple socket types used in Sri Lanka (D / G / M). Type D is the most commonly found so a UK 3 pin to type D plug adaptor should allow you to connect your appliances in many cases. If you want to be sure though a better option may be to invest in a worldwide adaptor that is a single unit capable of connecting to multiple socket types.

Please be aware that whilst a travel adaptor will allow you to physically plug a UK plug into a different socket it will not change the voltage or frequency of the supply.

Voltage - The mains voltage in Sri Lanka is 230 V which is compatible with all UK appliances (UK voltage is currently specified as 230 V +10% / - 6%).

Frequency - The frequency in Sri Lanka is 50 Hz which is the same as the UK.

Special considerations - Increased use of type G in new houses/establishments. Mainly in Colombo and high end hotels.
