Electrical Connections Around the World
Just as every country has its own culture, language, and currency, each country has its own solution to electricity.
There are two basic standard wall currents in the world, 100-125 volts, and 220-250 volts. Some countries use the the same 100-125 volt system as we do in North America. Others use a 220-250 volt system common in Europe and elsewhere. When taking appliances to a country that uses 220-250 volts, a voltage transformer or converter may be required. In addition, you may need one or more plug adaptors which will allow you to insert the plug into that country's wall socket.
Use this interactive guide to determine the plug adaptor(s) needed and whether a transformer or converter is required when taking appliances designed for North America to another country.
Select the country you are going to determine the voltage used at your destination.
