Kindly note that the voltages listed here are the “nominal” figures reported to be in use at most residential or commercial sites in the country or area named. Most electrical power systems are prone to slight variations in voltage due to demand or other factors. Generally, this difference is inconsequential, as most appliances are built to tolerate current a certain percentage above or below the rated voltage. However, severe variations in current can damage electrical equipment.
The information of Worldwide Plug and Socket here was compiled from several sources, including the BSI publications “World Electricity Supplies” and “Electrical Plugs and Wiring.” The information is subject to change without notification. For more information, please contact us.
