220v australia

Ah, the classic 220V question down under! Australia actually uses 230 volts at 50 Hz as its standard household voltage, not 220V. This slight voltage bump ensures your toaster and electric drill get the juice they need without melting the wiring. If you're importing appliances rated strictly for 220V, they usually work fine, but always check the label. For true peace of mind, consult the official Australian electrical standards or ServiceCentral for compliance info.
