australia household voltage

Australia’s household mains is 230 V AC at 50 Hz, which is why your imported 110 V gizmo throws a tantrum here.

The standard allows a tolerance roughly 216–253 V, so 220–240 V–rated appliances are perfectly at home.

Plugs are the angled flat-pin Type I; bring an adapter, not an attitude.

Most modern chargers are multi‑voltage (100–240 V), but check the tiny print before you give it a smoky farewell.

If in doubt, use a proper step‑down transformer and sleep like a koala after lunch.
