This means that you will not need a converter or transformer but just a travel adaptor, because Australia operates on a 230V supply voltage, which is within the 110-240V range that the dual voltage appliance operates on.

Is NZ plug same as Aus?

Travelling to nearby countries is easy, as places like Australia and Fiji use the same plug type (I) as New Zealand. That means that if your electronics work in your home sockets, they’ll work in these countries too. This plug can come with two or three pins and carries 220-240 volts.

Is EU plug same as Australia?

Australia, Europe and the USA all have different plugs.

Do NZ plugs work in Australia?

In Australia the standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. You can use your electric appliances in Australia, because the standard voltage (230 V) is the same as in New Zealand. So you don’t need a voltage converter in Australia, when living in New Zealand.

Does NZ use EU plug or US plug?

The voltage in New Zealand is 230/240 volts, which is different than in the USA (110 volts), Canada (110/120 volts) but the same (or close enough to use) as in the UK and Australia.

Can I use a EU plug in Australia?

UK plugs aren’t compatible with Australian sockets, even though the two electrical systems use the same voltage. You’ll therefore need an adaptor to use your UK appliances and most of these have just the two pins.

Is 230V OK in Australia?

Mains voltage in Australia is 230V 50Hz. Travellers from most nations in Asia, Africa and Europe should have appliances that work on the same mains voltage as Australia – therefore you will not need a voltage converter. Notable exceptions to this are Japan, USA and Canada which uses 100/120V 50/60Hz.

What is the AS 3112 plug?

Australian standard three pin plug, with insulation. AS/NZS 3112 is the harmonised Australian and New Zealand standard for AC power plugs (male) and sockets (female).

What is an AS/NZS 3123 socket?

Higher rated socket outlets are sometimes used for connection of electric ovens in domestic kitchens. These sockets are rarely seen in industrial environments, where AS/NZS 3123 weather-proof sockets are generally preferred.

What is Australia’s standard plug/socket system?

Australia’s standard plug/socket system was originally codified as standard C112 (floated provisionally in 1937, and adopted as a formal standard in 1938).

What are the active and neutral pins on a plug?

When viewing a plug from the rear, and the earth pin downwards, the top left pin is active and the top right pin is neutral. The shank of the active and neutral pins of every 10 amp and 15 amp flat-pin plug sold after 3 April 2005 are required to be insulated, in accordance with AS/NZS 3112:2000.
