This guide provides electricity voltage information by country, including single-phase and three-phase voltage, frequency, and plug types. Most countries have mains voltages between 220–240 V (50 or 60 Hz) and three-phase voltages between 380–415 V. The table also shows the plug types used in each country.
The electricity grid in Germany is sub-divided into transmission grids (maximum voltage) and distribution grids (high, medium and low voltage).

The total length of the German transmission grids is about 35,000 kilometres. In the case of alternating current (AC), electricity is transmitted with a maximum voltage of 220 kilovolts (kV) or 380 kV; the voltage of the planned new high voltage direct current (DC) transmission lines will be up to 525 kV.
