New Caledonia.

220 V · 50 Hz on Type F, Type C.

A French Pacific territory that the IEC lists with Type C and F sockets at 220 V and 50 Hz. Continental European two-pin and Schuko plugs work directly; visitors from nearby Australia and New Zealand need adapters, since Type I blades do not fit round-pin outlets.

The voltage window

A nominal 220 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 198 and 242 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.
