There is a nice map of the countries of the world colored by the nominal voltage and frequency they use.
Scroll down to related links and look at "Word Map Voltage and Frequency".
All the world except US
<<>>
The North American grid uses 60 Hz.
USA: 120 volts
It depends in which country you are located. Through out the world that are different electrical voltages. The electrical manufactures knowing this and wanting to sell world wide make bulb to run on that countries electrical system. The two main voltages that bulbs operate on are; in 60 Hertz countries 120 volts and 50 Hertz countries 230 volts.
All over Europe we have now 230 volts. Its all history and politics. World map of voltage and frequency: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WorldMap_Voltage%26Frequency.png Cheers ebs
It depends on which country that you live in. European and UK, the household voltage is 230 volts. In North America, the household voltage is 120 volts. Other countries around the world, the blankets that are sold will match the household supply of that country.
To get the actual household voltage range figures for your locality it is best to ask a local licensed electrician or your local electricity supply company. As long as your appliance has a rating plate, user guide - or has similar information printed on its body - which says it was designed to run on a range of voltages from 120 to 240 volts ac, you can plug it in. In the US, Canada and other countries which use a similar 60 Hz alternating current system, circuits for lighting and low-power appliances run at 120 volts plus or minus 10%, in which case the voltage range could be from 108 Volts to 132 Volts. In countries in Europe and other world areas which use 230 volts 50 Hz alternating current system, circuits for lighting and low-power appliances now run at 230 volts plus 10% or minus 6%. Thus the mains supply voltage will remain within standards even if it varies between an upper limit of 253 volts and a lower limit of 216.2 volts.
12mega diversity countries are there in the world.
New Zealand is one of them.

Electricity generation stations throughout Europe generate supplies at 50 Hz.Click on the Related Links shown below - and see the answer to the Related Question also shown below - for more information about the electricity supplies used as standard in each of the countries around the world.

No country in the world uses 138 volts. They use 100, 110, 115, 120, 127, 210, 220, & 240.
That is history and politics. Scroll down to related links and look at "World map for voltage and frequency".
"50 Hz" is the shortened form of "50 hertz" which means "50 cycles per second". 50 Hz is the frequency of alternating current (ac) used by national electricity power services in many countries in Europe and elsewhere in the world whilst in USA, Canada and many other countries it is 60 Hz.
The world has not developed a machine able to make electricity from fruits.
50 Hz is the frequency of alternating current (ac) used by national electricity power services in Europe and several other world areas whilst 60 Hz is used in USA, Canada and many other countries in the world. 50 Hz means or specifies "50 cycles per second". Hz is the international technical abbreviation for the scientific unit of frequency, the hertz.

British electricity is of high quality as one of the leading developed countries in the world. The most well known supplier of electricity in the UK is 'British Gas'.
It would be the same resources used to generate electricity anywhere else in the world. Many poor countries cannot provide solar, wind, or nuclear electricity. 3rd world and most 2nd world countries are dependant on fossil fuels. Generators are a mobil way to provide electricity and use either diesel or 87-92 octain fuels.
