How can a power rating be used to calculate electricity used?
The amount of energy used can be calculated by multiplying power x time: energy = power x time Since you normally pay the electricity used by the kilowatt-hour, it makes sense to convert the power rating to kilowatts. If it is specified in watts, divide that by 1000 to convert to kilowatts. Then multiply by the number of hours of use. For example: for a device that uses 100 watts, and which you turn on for 5 hours, your calculation would be: 0.1 kilowatt x 5 hours = 0.5 kilowatt-hours On some devices, watts are not specified. In that case, multiplying volts x amperes is usually close to the number of watts used.
How many kilowatts does it take to run 200 amp home?
The maximum would be 200 x 240 = 48 kilowatts assuming you had normal 3 wire service. However, your home would never use that much. Average would probably be about 3 or 4 kilowatts, depending on time of day and your heating and air-conditioning systems. Your electric utility bill probably tells you how many kilowatt-hours you used in a month. Just divide this by 730 which is the number of hours in the average month, and that will give your average load in kilowatts for that month.
How much energy does a small wind turbine generate?
less than 100 kilowatts of electricity can be used to power a single home.
On what energy does can lighting work?
Electricity is used for lighting and it is measured in kilowatts per hour. It is estimated that about 17% to 20% of all electricity used in the US is for lighting alone.
How many kilowatt hours - KWh - are used to light a 30 watt light bulb for 1 hour?
A kilowatt is 1,000 Watts. 30 Watts is equal to 0.03 kilowatts. A kWh or kilowatt-hour is the rate of electrical usage. It is a measure of kilowatts used per period of time (1 hour). 1 kWh is 1 kilowatt (1,000 watts) for 1 hour. So, multiply your 30 watts (0.03 kilowatts) by 1 hour to get kWh. =0.03 kWh In about 33 hours and 20 minutes, this lamp would use 1 kWh.
How many kilowatts needed to heat 170m2?
To calculate the number of kilowatts needed to heat 170m2, you will need to consider the size of the space, the insulation, and the climate. The calculations will vary depending on the specifics of each situation, but the following steps can be used as a general guide: Calculate the wattage of the heater you are using (this is usually listed on the heater's label). Multiply this wattage by the area of the space (170m2 in this case) to get the total wattage required. Divide the total wattage by 1,000 to convert it to kilowatts. This is the number of kilowatts you need to heat the 170m2 space.For example, if you are using a heater with a wattage of 1,200, then you will need 204 kilowatts (1,200 x 170m2 / 1,000) to heat the space. However, this number is only an estimate and you may need more or less wattage depending on the specific details of your space and climate.
