Papua New Guinea.

240 V · 50 Hz on Type I.

Type I10 A · earthed

Australian-style Type I sockets with angled blades, at 240 V and 50 Hz. Plugs from Australia and New Zealand fit straight in; everyone else needs an adapter, and 120 V appliances must be dual-voltage before they go anywhere near the wall.

The voltage window

A nominal 240 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 216 and 264 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.
