Faroe Islands.

230 V · 50 Hz on Type K, Type C, Type E, Type F.

Wired like Denmark: 230 V 50 Hz with the friendly-faced Danish Type K socket most common, alongside C, E and F in newer installations. Europlugs fit everything, but a Schuko plug in an old Type K outlet loses its earth connection — fine for phone chargers, worth noting for heavier appliances.

The voltage window

A nominal 230 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 207 and 253 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.
