In two countries with type G sockets, can electrical appliances be plugged in without any problem?
No, since the voltage of the electrical current in the country where a G-type plug is to be used must be taken into account.
In other words, if the voltage in the country of origin is lower, the plugged-in appliance may be overloaded. If the voltage is higher, the appliance will probably operate at lower performance or not at all despite the use of a plug with the same plug.
