The thread was on wall power. I was thinking 110/220 at 60/50Hz respectively.
Checking Wikipedia I see it's actually 120v that we get here.

And ... there are just over a dozen world wide standards, with 230v 50Hz being 
the most common:
   Freq  Standard
    128 230v 50Hz
     88 220v 50Hz
     26 240v 50Hz
     16 120v 60Hz
     15 220v 60Hz
     10 110v 60Hz
      4 230v 60Hz
      4 127v 60Hz
      2 240v 60Hz
      2 127v 50Hz
      2 115v 60Hz
      2 100v 60Hz
      1 115v 50Hz
      1 110v 50Hz
