Voltage and Frequency Data by Country

Key Definitions and Notes

Voltage Standard: The nominal root-mean-square (RMS) voltage supplied to end-users in a given country or region.

Frequency Standard: The nominal frequency of the alternating current (AC) in the electrical grid. Most regions operate at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

Importance: These standards are critical for designing electrical equipment. A device rated for one voltage/frequency may be damaged or perform incorrectly if used in a region with a different standard. Japan is a notable example where both 50 Hz and 60 Hz grids are used in different parts of the country.
