Formula & guidance
Reference: IEC world plugs
Similar shapes do not guarantee compatibility or safety. Check voltage, frequency, current, grounding and destination standards separately. This tool does not convert voltage or establish country compatibility.
Change the example inputs and check each field’s units. Use equipment datasheets and applicable project standards for final decisions. Results do not establish Canadian electrical-code compliance or certify a design.
