A straight British inheritance: Type G is the single standard, at 230 V and 50 Hz. UK plugs go straight in; everyone else needs a shape adapter, and 120 V appliances need dual-voltage support or a converter before they meet the wall.

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.
