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.
This map reflects the nominal voltage of residential buildings of most countries. In the USA and Canada, there are 2 nominal voltages: 120V and 240V concurrently. This is not a 3 phase system and 240V is not a phase-phase voltage. This system is unique and is only used in certain parts of the world. 230/380V in Europe does not use a similar system.
Example of a Europlug. The Europlug is a flat, non-rewirable two-pole, round-pin domestic AC power plug, rated for voltages up to 250 V and currents up to 2.5 A. [1] It is a compromise design intended to connect low-power Class II appliances safely to the many different forms of round-pin domestic power socket used across Europe.
Plug (sheet V) and socket (sheet VI) to French standard NF C 61-315 (400 V, 32 A) The plugs and sockets used to power electric stoves from a single-phase line have to be rated for greater current values than those used with three-phase supply because all the power has to be transferred through two contacts, not three. If not hardwired to the ...
Both, the map showing the plug types in use and the map showing the mains frequencies and voltages have been created to exceed not only the visual quality of the old raster maps, but also to better do their actual job, i.e. presenting the respective pieces of information in a sensible way. This includes the following:

Brazil is unusual in having both 127 V and 220 V systems at 60 Hz and also permitting interchangeable plugs and sockets. [6] Saudi Arabia and Mexico have mixed voltage systems; in residential and light commercial buildings both countries use 127 volts, with 220 volts at 60 Hz in commercial and industrial applications. The Saudi government ...
