Voltages by Country

Almost all ceiling fans sold in the USA are made for 110-120 Volt 60Hz electricity, although a few ceiling fans are made for 220 Volts. If you require a fan that is anything other than 110 Volts, 120 Volts or 220 Volts, then we most likely cannot supply you with a ceiling fan. If you require a 220 Volt fan, please call us at: 1-562-594-1249

Brazil 127 V - 220 V Ceiling Fans 60 Hz A, B, C, I Older C - NBR14136:2002 / IEC 60906-1 - Newer devices . Type I is becoming common for 220 V outlets and appliances in 127 V areas. Dual-voltage wiring is rather common for high-powered appliances, such as clothes dryers and electric showers which tend to be 220 V even in 127 V areas. Depending on the area, the exact voltage might be 115 V, 127 V, or 220 V. The A, B and C types are sometimes together (flat with rounder ends and ground pin) so that an A, B or C types can be used. Also note that by Jan 01st 2010, Brazil converted to the IEC 60906-1 international plug which looks similar to type J but is not compatible. Since then, all devices shall comply with new standard.

[14] A "shaver socket" (similar to Type C) is sometimes found in bathrooms that will provide low current to some other plug types. These sometimes have a ~110 V socket and a ~240 V socket in the same unit, or a switch to select voltage for a single socket. The G type socket usually has an on-off switch. IEC 60309 plugs and connectors are used in industrial and construction locations as well as for outdoor use in domestic and other business premises. Plug types D and M were used until the 1960s and are still in preferred use for theatre and TV stage lighting applications due to lack of internal fuse.
