Mains power systems
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of countries with mains power plugs, voltages and frequencies)
This article includes a list of countries and territories, with the plugs, voltages and frequencies they use for providing
electrical power to small appliances and some major appliances. For definitions of terms and further information on
each plug, see the article AC power plugs and sockets. For a discussion of the different voltages and frequencies used
and some of the history of the different power systems see Mains electricity.

The lettering system used here is from a U.S. government
document[1], which defines the letter names and gives a (not
always correct) list of what plug types are used where. Although
useful for quick reference, the document is ambiguous in some
areas. A plug and socket that are classified here under the same
letter will usually mate, but there is no guarantee of this. A more
up-to-date and authoritative reference on plugs and sockets is IEC
Technical Report 60083[2].
Plugs.
Voltage ranges
Distinction should be made between the voltage at the point of supply
(nominal system voltage) and the voltage rating of the equipment
(utilization voltage). Typically the utilization voltage is 3 to 5% lower
than the nominal system voltage; for example, a nominal 208 V supply
system will be connected to motors with "200 V" on their nameplates.
This allows for the voltage drop between equipment and supply.
Voltages in this article are the nominal supply voltages and equipment
used on these systems will carry slightly lower nameplate voltages.
