Electricity
The base station has a standard European grounded socket, type F power plug. The Base Station requires 220-240 volt and max 1300 watt output. The length is 1,8 meter (5 foot). The Smart keg 2.0 and 3.0 has a standard power adapter, type C power plug (110-240 Volt). The cable has a length of 0,5 meter (16 foot).
Travel adaptors
You can use a grounded travel adapter (suitable for 1500 watt+). This works in countries such a United Kingdom and Switzerland.
Different voltage
If you are based in a country that has a different voltage (100-120 volt) a standard transformer is needed for the Base Station to work. The transformer should have an output of 220 AC and mim of 1500 watt. MiniBrew recommend 2000 watt. Here are two example you can buy at Amazon.
