Global Voltage and Frequency Standards

Chart of Voltage and Frequency Standards

This chart includes the voltage, hertz, and plug type that is used across the globe.

Below is a list of all the plug, frequency, and voltages listed globally. Each country is listed along with their plug type, frequency (Hertz/ Hz), and volts.

Under the plug type you will notice there are different letters listed representing the plugs used in that country. If you have ever gone on vacation to a different country and you had to purchase a plug converter, these letters indicate which of those converters you would need to use. The global voltage information is sourced from World Standards.
