VOLTAGE
New Zealand operates on 230/240 volt AC electrical power (an Alternating Current
running at a frequency of 50 hertz). For electric razors, many hotels are fitted
with 110 volt sockets.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
Electrical outlets in New Zealand only accept two or three-blade plugs. The
two main blades of these plugs are angled (differing from the vertical blade
configuration seen on North American plugs). A plug adapter or converter is
necessary for all electrical equipment that does not match this configuration.
NOTE: Both the plug and the voltage of an electrical appliance must be converted
in order for an appliance to work safely.
