Do you know that the power plug type vary by country?
At present, there are many standards for power plugs in the world, including Chinese standards, American standards, Europe standards, UK standards and South African standards, etc. What are the plug types in various countries?
Below you will find the pictures of plugs, the plug types and voltage standards of various countries in the world.
1.Main Voltage in the World
In general, there are two types of voltages used for indoor electricity around the world, namely AC 100V-130V and AC 220V-240V.
100V, 110V-130V are classified as low voltage, such as the United States, Japan, and the voltage on board, it focuses on safety;
220V-240V is classified as high voltage, including 220V in China, 230V in the United Kingdom and most European countries, it focuses on the energy conversion efficiency. In countries that use 220V-230V voltage, there are also situations where 110V-130V voltage is used, such as Sweden and Russia.
100VAC: Japan, Korea
110～130VAC: About 30 countries including Taiwan of China, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Cuba, and Lebanon, etc.
220～230VAC: About 120 countries including China, Hong Kong of China, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, India, Singapore, Thailand, Netherlands, Spain, Greece, Austria, Philippines, Norway, etc.
