Below is a complete overview of all countries of the world and their respective plugs/outlets and

voltages/frequencies used for domestic appliances. The table shows that in most countries the
mains supply is between 220 and 240 volts (50 or 60 Hz); countries that operate on 100-127
volts are greatly outnumbered. The list also reveals that types A and C are the most frequently
used electric plugs worldwide.
If you take a scroll down the page, you will notice that most countries have a well-defined plug
and voltage standard. Many Latin-American, African and Asian countries, however, use a motley
collection of often incompatible plugs and sometimes also the voltage differs from region to
region. Obviously, this makes it very hard for travellers to assess what kind of plug adapter or
transformer they will need for their trip. Whenever the electricity situation in a country requires
additional information, the country name in question is highlighted in red. That link will take you
to an in-depth description.
