The Argentina plug does not have the same configuration as
Australia, although there are a lot of similarities and the
Australian plug might (probably will) work.
But, as in most other countries, Argentina national
certification is (or soon will be) required, and therefore
the Australia plug will be outlawed because of its differences
and lack of Argentina national certification.
Volex offers Argentina approved power cords. See:
http://www.volex.com/powercords/POWPROD4.HTM
Note that Volex offers BOTH Argentina approved power cords
AND Australia approved power cords, but these are separate
cords. This says that there ARE differences, with the
implication that they are not interchangable.
Regards,
Rich
