ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Non-US Electrical Systems & Trades "Esoteric" countries and their wiring practices?

Ragnar: Yes, the pins on the Korean "Euro"-plug ("Koro" plug???) has for some reason the same diameter (and pin spacing) as the Schuko plug. South Korea has seen the light and come to understand that the right way is Schuko and 220V, not NEMA and 110V.

Sven: Perhaps, PAL - Pay A Lot, had to be renamed in the socialist state of North Korea?

Seriously, guys, I have tried to find some information about North Korea, but I haven't. I have found out that 220V is used in Pyoungyang, but not which system it is derived from nor the frequency. The Sony site lists 60Hz, but I'm not overly impressed by the accuracy of the information.
