Frequently Asked Questions

  • What problems can be caused by a faulty switch?

    A faulty switch or plug is a potential safety hazard. If not attended to in time, a fire can break out which could lead to injuries or fatalities. So, don’t leave things to chance. Snupit provides the best electrical switch installers in Cape Town who are ready to assist.

  • What type of plug points are used in South Africa?

    As you’re probably aware, different countries use different plug points. In South Africa, you will have one of the following depending on your household:

    - Type C: This plug point has two round pins
    - Type D: This plug point has three round pins which are set in a triangular pattern
    - Type M & N: These plug points both have three round pins

    If you have any relatives visiting Cape Town from abroad, be sure to advise them to bring the relevant travel adapters so that they can fully utilise their devices.

  • Converter vs Transformer: How do I know which one to use?

    South Africa has a voltage supply of 240V. This means that if you’re using a single voltage-rated appliance, you must make sure that it matches the 240V supply. On the other hand, if it has more (or less) voltage supply then you’ll need a converter or transformer for the appliance to work safely and optimally.

    How will you know whether to you use a transformer or converter? We explain the differences:

    - Transformers: These are typically used with appliances that operate continuously for a long time.

    - Converters: These are ideally suited for use with appliances that operate for only a short time.

  • What is the new standard plug for new installations?

    According to SABS, new plug point installations, be it on residential properties or business premises in Cape Town, must have at least one socket that accommodate the new ZA plug. This plug is more compact and has much thinner pins compared to the old standard plug.

  • What is the average voltage rating on appliances in South Africa?

    Electricity supplies vary from one country to the next. In South Africa, the voltage ranges from 100V-240V.

  • Why is it important to observe the voltage ratings on appliances?

    Know that using an electrical appliance that has a higher rating than the supply provided can be dangerous or you can damage your appliances. We advise that you use a voltage converter to ensure that your unit works within the recommended voltage. Even so, we urge you to always stick to the limit of the voltage rating on the converter.

  • My plug’s earthing component is damaged. Can I still use it?

    You can still use your plug and appliances if the ground—also called earth—pins are damaged, they will work. However, know that you won’t be protected. Excess electricity may be transmitted to the person touching the appliance, instead of it being channelled into the ground.
