Voltage And Power Cable Plugs Around The World

1). Overview of voltage specifications in various countries

At present, there are roughly two voltages used in indoor electricity in various countries around the world, namely 100V~130V and 220~240V. 100V, 110~130V belong to low voltage, such as the voltage in the United States, Japan, etc. and on ships. The reason for using low voltage is mainly for safety. 220~240V is called high voltage, which includes 220 volts in China and 230 volts in the UK. As in many European countries, the focus is on efficiency. In countries that use 220-230V voltage, 110-130V voltage is also used, such as Sweden and Russia.
