Remember the voltage is 220 Volts in Europe. You will need a voltage converter and adapter plugs for all electrical appliances. Check with the labels on your electronics items, many will be dual voltage- laptop computers, video chargers, etc... Back to top

Turkey's electricity is 220 volts. In some areas where power surges are a factor, the purchase of a regulator is a necessity, as it smoothes out these surges before they reach the electrical goods in your home. Back to General questions

volts AC, 50Hz. Plugs are of the round two-pin type. If you have 110 volts appliance to use on your trip, like shaving machine, hair drier, etc, it is recommended to take a 110-to-220 plug with you while traveling. Of course, you can find it in Iran too, but it can be a waste of time in some situations.

I recommend you pack one together with your electrical appliance, so that you do not have to spend valuable time looking for adaptors and transformers during your stay.

Generally the electricity operates at 110 volts (like in North America) but voltage irregularities are quite common here - sometimes providing less, sometimes providing surges of far more. For this reason, expensive appliances and computers should have surge protection if they are going to be used here. Appliances from countries that use more voltage, 220 volts for example, will generally require converters or adapters. More in our Electricity section.

Using a standard r/c battery meter with a 300mah load you will get 5.5 volts on a 4.8v (4 cell) pack. And about 6.9 volts on a 6v (5 cell) pack. The radio battery will read 10.8v

Electricity is supplied throughout New Zealand at 230/240 volts (50 hertz), although most hotels and motels provide 110 volt AC sockets (rated at 20 watts) for electric razors only. For all other equipment, an adapter/converter is necessary, unless the item has a multi-voltage option. Please note that power outlets only accept flat three or two-pin plugs, depending on whether an earth connection is fitted.

Electricity is produced as the magnets of the rotors spin past the stationary wiring of the stator. This concept was discovered by scientist Michael Faraday in 1831 when he found that electricity could be created by rotating magnets within copper coils.
