European Power Cord FAQ
What is the standard power cord in Europe?
The CEE 7/7 Schuko is the standard power cord widely used across Europe. It features two round pins and is rated for voltages up to 250V and currents up to 2.5A. This non-grounded plug is commonly known as the Europlug and is compatible with CEE 7/7 to IEC-60320-C13 power cords.
Can I use an American extension cord in Europe?
Yes, you can safely use an American extension cord in Europe. The higher European voltage of 230V means the extension cord only needs to handle half the current it would in the United States, where the standard voltage is 120V.
What power cord does Germany use?
Germany primarily uses two plug types: Type C (the Europlug with two round pins) and Type F (similar to Type C but with two earth clips on the side, also known as the "Schuko" plug). Both are compatible with Germany's 230V, 50Hz power supply.
What are the colors of the wires on an extension cord?
In a standard extension cord, the green wire is the ground wire, the white wire is the neutral wire, and the black wire is the hot wire. However, light-duty indoor extension cords often lack the ground wire.
Can I use my iPhone charger in Europe?
Yes, you can use your iPhone charger in Europe without any issues. Apple chargers are dual voltage, compatible with 100V-240V and 50Hz/60Hz power supplies. However, you will need a European power cord adapter to connect the charger to the local outlets.
Do I need a voltage converter for Europe?
Most modern devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops, are dual voltage and can handle both 110V and 220V electricity without a converter. However, you may need a plug adapter to fit the European outlets. Check your device's voltage range to determine if a converter is necessary.
