How do you use UK appliances in Singapore?
You can use US appliances, but only if you get an adaptor. The island uses 3-pin UK plugs and 240v electrical appliances.
How many kilowatts does 3 HP well pump use per hour?
Kilowatts and horse power are both measures of power and they must be multiplied by time to get units of energy. 1 HP is 746 watts, so a 3-HP pump works at 3 x 746 watts, and probably uses about 3 kilowatts of electrical power input. In one hour that is 3 kilowatt-hours, also known as 3 Units. Obviously in 6 hours it would use 18 kWh etc. etc.
How many kW does a microwave use?
A hair dryer uses about 1 kW, a tumble dryer uses 3 kW.
How many kilowatts does a geyser use?
If you mean an immersion heater for making hot water, they use 3 kW usually so you get enough for a bath in about two hours.
How many kW per hour does a Home computer use?
It really depends on the computer. If you have an old-style CRT type monitor that stays on too, it may use far more power than the PC. You can figure the number for your particular setup, here's how: First, electrical consumtion is actually measured in kilowatt-hours, not kilowatts. A kilowatt is one-thousand watts. If you have a device that draws 1,000 watts, and you leave it on for one hour, you have consumed (and will have to pay for) one kilowatt-hour. Sometimes appliances are rated in watts, sometimes in amps. Simply multiply amps times 120 (assuming your in the US) to get watts. 100 watts is 0.1 kilowatts, 500 watts is 0.5 kilowatts, 1,230 watts would be 1.23 kilowatts. 3 amps is 0.36 kilowatts (3 X 120 = 360 watts = 0.36 kilowatts). Get it? Here's my setup as an example: My PC is a laptop. The power supply says 95 watts. That's 0.095 kilowatts. I put the laptop in a docking station so I can use a real keyboard and monitor. My monitor says 2 amps. That's 0.24 kilowatts (2 X 120 = 240 watts). See, my monitor actually uses more electricity than the laptop! That's why most modern monitors have a power-save feature where they turn off after a period of inactivity. So, the total power needed is 0.335 kilowatts (0.24 + 0.095). If I leave them on for a whole month (there are about 720 hours in a month) I would use 241.2 kilowatt-hours (0.335 X 720). At my electrical rate of 10.6 cents ($0.106) per kilowatt-hour, the electricity needed will cost me $25.57 (= $0.106 X 241.2).

How much does an electricity generator cost?
Electricity generators usually go for about 3-10 thousand dollars. It really depends on the size and how many kilowatts you are looking to get out of it.
How many watts is 3 kilowatts?
3 kilowatts is 3000 watts.

What appliances are a waste of electricity?
All appliiances waste energy when they are left switched on while not being used. Some appliances are worse than others. A laptop might take only 20 watts (50 hours to use 1 unit) while a tumble-drier might take 3 kW (20 minutes to use 1 unit).
What uses the most electricity in an apartment?
Not knowing what appliances are in the apartment, I would say: 1. Air Conditioning 2. Refrigerator 3. Water Heater

What are 3 devices that use AC elecricity?
Locate 3 devices that use AC electricity.
How many Kilowatts are used every year in Canada?
3
What is the average wattage for an AC?
3 to 20 kilowatts (3 in the United States, so somewhere between 11 and 12 would be your average wattage for an AC in kilowatts, or 11,000-12,0000 Watts.
