Voltages vary from country to country.

There are generally two types of voltage used in indoor electricity in various countries in the world, namely 100V ~ 130V, and two types of 220 ~ 240V. The specific differences and national usage conditions.

100V, 110 ~ 130V are classified as low voltage, focusing on safety. Such as the United States, Japan, etc. and the voltage on board. 220 ~ 240V is called high voltage, including 220 volts in China, 230 volts in the United Kingdom and many European countries. The focus is on efficiency. Countries that use 220-230V voltage also use 110-130V voltage, such as Sweden and Russia.

Voltage profile around the world:

A.100V: Japan, North Korea.

B.110~130V: Taiwan, America, Canada, Panama, Cuba, Lebanon, Mexico.

C.220~230V: Britain, Germany, France, China, Singapore, Hong Kong (200V), Italy, Spain, Greece, Austria, Netherlands, Philippines, Thailand, Norway, Singapore, India, New Zealand, Australia adopt 220~230V In countries or regions with high voltage, 110-130V voltage is also used, such as Sweden and Russia. However, most countries use 220-230V for indoor electricity.
