2. Mains electricity by country - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country

   The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) publishes a web microsite World Plugs [1] which provides the main source for this page, except where other sources are indicated. 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.

3. EmPower (aircraft power adapter) - Wikipedia

   This new system accepts various national power plugs and most laptop chargers will function properly at 120 V 60 Hz AC even if sold in 230 V 50 Hz AC markets. Apple offered an EmPower MagSafe power adapter for their MacBook , MacBook Pro , and MacBook Air lines of notebooks, and also included a cigarette lighter socket adapter.

4. GOST 7396 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOST_7396

   GOST 7396 (ГОСТ 7396 in Cyrillic) is a series of Soviet and later Russian standards that adopt International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards IEC 60083:1975 and IEC 60884-2-1:1987 and specify basic dimensions and safety requirements for power plugs and sockets used in Russia and other former Soviet Republics, as well as for export to markets that use American or British plugs.

5. AC power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia

   Like in most European plugs, the power pins of Danish plugs are 19 mm (0.75 in) long and spaced 19 mm (0.75 in) apart, with a diameter of 4.8 mm (0.19 in). The earthing pin is part of the plug (in contrast to French and Schuko plugs); it is D-shaped, 14 mm (0.55 in) long, and offset from the power pins by 13 mm (0.51 in).

6. Adapter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapter

   A passive electric power adapter, sometimes called a travel plug or travel adapter, allows using a plug from one region with a foreign socket. As other countries supply 120-volt, 60 Hz AC, using a travel adapter in a country with a different supply poses a safety hazard if the connected device does not support both input voltages.

7. AC power plugs and sockets: British and related types

   Similar converters are available for a variety of other plug types. Unlike a temporary travel adaptor, conversion plugs, when closed, resemble normal plugs, although larger and squarer. The non‑BS 1363 plug is inserted into the contacts, and the hinged body of the conversion plug is closed and fixed shut to grip the plug.
