Curious as to what is being used where? Here's a list!

: Australia is in the process of adopting the 230V 'standard'

Many are.

Canada is ithe same as the US. In fact, my outlets read 126V or so.

Now there is a definitive response... NOT!

The frequency is the same. That is so that we can help out if needed, and vice versa.

The voltage is as declared, despite what YOU read on some lame, likely NOT calibrated, handheld, POS meter.

Who cares if you don't even get the values for Europe right. It is NOT

220V, and it is NOT +/-10%, these values have been outdated for more than 10 years now. Thus your table is utterly useless.
