• Electrical power: 220 Volts, 60 Hz is standard. The male plug has two round rods with centers 19 mm apart. Each rod has a diameter of at most 5 mm. Ground connection (when available) is obtained from a third rod sitting in the third corner of a triangle which is almost (we are missing a couple of millimeters) equilateral (if possible avoid the ground connector, since the corresponding "hole" in the female plugs is often NOT there). There are also special plugs for computer equipment, distinguished by having rectangular rods instead of round ones. The female plugs, you are unlikely to meet. If you are equipped with a male one, it fits well in the standard plugs (apart from the mentioned problems with the ground connector).
