How many volts does an Australian socket have?

240V.

The voltage in Australia is 240V, and in China it is 220V. There is not much difference, and electrical appliances can be charged directly.

Australian plugs have two specifications: one is a three-hole plug with a ground wire, and the other is a two-hole plug without a ground wire. The domestic three-hole flat plug can be used normally, but the domestic two-hole plug is not Plug adapter required.

Plug adapters can be requested directly from the hotel front desk, or Australian plug adapters can be purchased at large domestic stores.

Extended information:

There are generally two types of voltages used for civil electricity in various countries around the world, namely 100V ~ 130V and 220 ~ 240V.

100V, 110~130V are classified as low voltage such as those in the United States, Japan, etc. and on ships, so its equipment is designed according to such low voltage, focusing on safety;

220~240V is called high voltage, including 220 volts in China, 230 volts in the UK and many European countries. The emphasis is on efficiency.

Generally speaking, there will be no problem if ordinary electrical appliances belonging to the same voltage system are taken abroad for use, because most electrical appliances have a 20% voltage floating range.
