World Plugs includes some history, a description of plug types, and a list of countries giving the type(s) used and the mains voltage and frequency. Although useful for quick reference, especially for travellers, IEC World Plugs may not be regarded as totally accurate, as illustrated by the examples in the plugs section below, and errors may exist.
220 Volt is a common mains electricity voltage. It may also refer to: 220 Volt Live, a 1993 album by Tangerine Dream; 220 Volt (band), a Swedish heavy metal band ...
A battery charger, recharger, or simply charger, [1] [2] is a device that stores energy in an electric battery by running current through it. The charging protocol—how much voltage and current, for how long and what to do when charging is complete—depends on the size and type of the battery being charged.
These are used for both 220-volt and 127-volt regions of the country, despite the IEC 60906-2 recommendation that NEMA 5-15 be used for 120 V connections. There are two types of sockets and plugs in NBR 14136: one for 10 A, with a 4.0 mm pin diameter, and another for 20 A, with a 4.8 mm pin diameter. [38]
A 50 Hz ±5 Hz vibrating-reed mains frequency meter for 220 V. The world's first public electricity supply was a water wheel driven system constructed in the small English town of Godalming in 1881. It was an alternating current (AC) system using a Siemens alternator supplying power for both street lights and consumers at two voltages, 250 V ...
Power cell may refer to: Battery (electricity), an array of galvanic cells for storing electricity. Electrochemical cell, a device that generates electricity from chemical reactions. Fuel cell, an electrochemical energy conversion chamber using reactants. Solar cell, a photovoltaic panel that converts light energy into electricity.
A submarine power cable is a transmission cable for carrying electric power below the surface of the water. [1] These are called "submarine" because they usually carry electric power beneath salt water (arms of the ocean, seas, straits, etc.) but it is also possible to use submarine power cables beneath fresh water (large lakes and rivers).
Energizer Holdings, Inc. is an American manufacturer and one of the world's largest manufacturers of batteries, headquartered in Clayton, Missouri. [2] [3] [4] It produces batteries under the Energizer, Ray-O-Vac, Varta, and Eveready brand names and formerly owned several personal care businesses until it separated that side of the business into a new company called Edgewell Personal Care in 2015.
