I understand that, originally, receptacles had 'nipples' that locked into the holes in order to hold the plugs in place. Although I don't think this is still the case. Anyone else out there to confirm this?
No. Unfortunately every country has different electrical standards. In North America the electrical standard is of 110-120 volts at a frequency of 60 Hz
Yes. In the United States, standard household voltage is 120VAC @ 60Hz. If properly installed, you can also run standard devices at 220 or 240 volts AC in the US.
Sydney, like the rest of Australia operates on 220v single-phase. Austalian plugs have three pins, the line and neutral are angled, so an adapter is required for UK/European users, and a transformer/adapter for US users.
No, the shape and size of UK plugs is very different and you will need an adapter to connect UK appliances in other countries or vice versa. Also, UK plugs often include one or more fusible safety links that most other places to not.
You should convert metric measurements to standard US measurements when you need to communicate with someone who is more familiar with the US system, or if the specific context or requirements you are dealing with call for the use of standard US measurements.
No, US plugs will not work in Japan without an adapter. Japan uses a different type of electrical outlet that is not compatible with US plugs.
No, US plugs will not work in Japan because Japan uses a different type of electrical outlet and voltage.
There are three main types of electrical plugs used in the US: Type A, Type B, and Type C. Type A plugs have two flat parallel prongs, Type B plugs have two flat parallel prongs and a grounding pin, and Type C plugs have two round prongs.
No, US plugs do not work in Japan because Japan uses a different type of electrical outlet with a different voltage and plug shape.
Yes, you can use US plugs in Japan with the help of a plug adapter. Japan uses a different type of electrical outlet, so you will need an adapter to fit your US plug into a Japanese outlet.
The potential difference between the two holes in a standard wall socket in the US is 120 volts.
"NGK D8EA" are the standard plugs called for in the manual for "US" models. "NGK DR8ES-L" for all "UK" models. or "ND X24ES-U" for "US" models. "ND X24ESR-U" for "UK" models.

Contact the company directly. They will tell you what electrical sockets are used in cabins i.e. US or UK for instance. That will allow you to check your plugs and if required purchase adaptors
This is your lucky day. The standard mains supply everywhere in the US is 120 V AC 60 Hz.
American Samoa follows the American standard 110 VAC. So, generally alomsot every product from the US would work in American Samoa.The voltage in American Samoa is 120 V @60 HZ. American Samoa uses plugs A or B or F or I. Compatible with the US and Canada. Source: voltageplugregion.com
No, Japanese plugs are different from US plugs. Japanese plugs have two flat pins, while US plugs have two flat pins and a round grounding pin. Additionally, the voltage and frequency in Japan are different from the US, so using a US appliance in Japan may require a voltage converter.
