Electrical Receptacles, Electrical Outlets, Electrical Plugs, Adapter Plugs

Electrical Receptacles, Electrical Outlets, Electrical Plugs, Adapter Plugs: "Electric Power Around the World
The table below summarizes information on the electrical systems in use in most countries of the world.
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. Many former 220 V countries have converted or are in the process of converting to the EU standard of 230 V. 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."
