What voltages are used around the world?

The world runs in two voltage ranges: 110-127V or 220-240V.

What voltage do most countries use?

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.

What is the difference between 220V 50Hz and 220V 60Hz?

There is little real difference between 50 Hertz and 60 Hertz systems, as long as the equipment is designed appropriately for the frequency. The more significant difference is that 60Hz systems usually use 110V (120V) or thereabouts for the domestic power supply, while 50Hz systems tend to use 220V, 230V etc.

Why does US use 110v?

How We Eventually Ended Up with 110 Volts AC. After the dust settled, the U.S. electricity distribution industry agreed on 110 Volts AC as their standard. This was to quieten the idea that 220 volts were far too dangerous in the public mind. Thus Edison had his way with the numbers 110, but not with the letters DC.

Which country uses 120V?

Only a handful use 60Hz. The standard in the United States is 120V and 60Hz AC electricity….Listing per country.

Is Canada 220V or 110V?

In Canada and Quebec, and in fact everywhere in North America, the standard voltage is 120 V (with a standard frequency of 60 Hz) rather than the 220 volts used in Europe. However, don’t be suprised if you hear or read 110 V. It is an old designation and it is still used by the general public.

What’s the voltage in each country of the world?
