Guide to Worldwide Plug/Socket Patterns & Power Mains (single phase)

Back to References

The information provided for developing countries is not precise. The data given for single phase voltages are nominal and are subject to a standard tolerance of 10%, but in some areas-particularly in developing countries-tolerances may be much greater. Variations from the nominal frequencies as listed may be considerably greater in developing countries than in the industrialized world.
