Syria.

220 V · 50 Hz on Type C, Type E, Type L.

Syria runs 220 V at 50 Hz through two-pin Type C sockets, with French-style Type E and Italian-style Type L also recorded. A europlug covers most outlets directly. The grid has suffered years of damage, so outages are routine and many buildings rely on generators or battery systems.

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.
