Worldwide Plug and Voltage Overview
More and more people go on a business trip and traveling abroad nowadays, so we have specifically gathering some information about plugs and voltages in various countries to slove the charging problem when travel abroad, in order to help you prepare the travel adapter conversion plugs in advance.
Worldwide Plug and Voltage Overview
At present, there are two types of voltages used in indoor electricity around the world, ranging from 100V to 130V and 220 to 240V. 100V, 110 ~ 130V are classified as low voltage, such as the United States, Japan and other voltages on board, focus on safety; 220 ~ 240V is called high voltage, including 220 volts in China and 230 volts in the United Kingdom and many European countries, it's focus on efficiency.
In countries with 220-230V voltage, there are also cases where 110-130V voltage is used, such as Sweden and Russia.
100V: Japan, South Korea 2 countries
110～130V: China, Taiwan, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Cuba, Lebanon and other 30 countries
220～230V: China, Hong Kong (200V), Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, India, Singapore, Thailand, Netherlands, Spain, Greece, Austria, Philippines, Norway, about 120 countries
