Electrical Power in the Phillipines

[fturner]

Hi All-
Just a quick question that I hope isn.t too far off topic. Can anyone tell me what single phase and three phase power (voltage and frequency)is commonly available in the Phillipine Islands? This matters to me as a programmer because I may be traveling there to do a start up, and things will work better if we design for the correct power. Our customer has supplied some info, but not the specifics that would make me more confidant. Thanks in advance.

Voltages around the world

Have a look at this site http://kropla.com/electric2.htm. This will tell you a lot. The PI is patterned after the US. If you click on the letters in the "Plug" column, you will find what adapters you may need.

They use 220VAC in the Philippines. I think they use 60Hz but not too sure. They use the same electrical outlets as we use here in the U.S. If the facility uses the local power company for its electrical source, be sure you install a robust UPS because power utilities over there are not reliable.
