What is electricity voltage in Korea?

220V
In South Korea the supply voltage is 220V.

Does Korea use 120V?

Korea’s voltage is 220V (some places with 240V). If your device is only capable to run at 110-120V, then it will not work in Korea.

What power cord does Korea use?

The standard voltage in South Korea is 220 volts and 60Hz. South Korea uses two types of plugs, Plug Type C (Europlug) and Plug Type F (German Schuko). These types of plugs have two round pins that are placed 19mm apart from each other. The pins fit into two 4.0mm to 4.8mm round holes.

Can I use Korean appliances in Singapore?

You can use your electric appliances in South Korea, because the standard voltage (220 V) is (more or less) the same as in Singapore (230 V). So you don’t need a voltage converter in South Korea, when living in Singapore. The frequency in South Korea (60 Hz) differs from the frequency in Singapore (50 Hz).

Does Korea use AC or DC?

Comparison of electrical adapters for South Korea

Can I use 220V 60Hz appliance in Singapore?

it will be fine. They typically have a switch mode power supply which is either switchable for 110/120 or 220/230/240V, or more commonly these days, probably rated to accept anything from maybe 95Vac to perhaps 260V, or at least 240V. So the voltage will not worry it, nor will the frequency difference.

Can I use 60Hz on 50Hz?

For a generic answer: yes you can, IF: you reduce the voltage by 50/60, the equipment doesn’t care, you don’t care about potentially overheating the motor, the process/load can tolerate the lower speed/torque, etc.
