In Indonesia, the standard voltage for household and office use is 220 Volts (V), with a frequency of 50 Hertz (Hz). This is a single-phase system commonly used for everyday electronic appliances, such as televisions, refrigerators, and chargers.
It's important to pay attention to this voltage, especially when using equipment from abroad. Many countries, such as the United States, use a different voltage standard, namely 110-120 V. If you plug a 110 V device into a 220 V outlet without an adapter or converter, the device could overload and be seriously damaged.
Furthermore, there's a 380 V voltage used for three-phase systems. This voltage is generally used by large industrial or commercial buildings that require higher electrical power to operate heavy machinery.

The plug is the end of the cable that connects to electronic equipment. Its shape must fit into the wall socket to allow the electrical current to flow. In Indonesia, the most common plugs are type C and type F.
