230 V · 50 Hz on Type G, Type C, Type M.

The UK-style Type G is the standard socket in homes and hotels, a legacy of British wiring rules. The IEC also records Type C and the heavy round-pin Type M in circulation, mostly on older or high-current equipment. At 230 V, 50 Hz, a Type G adapter is all most visitors need — unless their gear is 120 V only.

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.
