What if your refrigerator is 5.6 amps so how much does it cost you a month at 22 cents per kilowatt?

A refrigerator is not on all the time. It is controlled by a thermostat that keeps it at a certain temperature. To answer this question the total number of hours the refrigerator was actually running would have to be recorded. Knowing this information and the voltage at which the refrigerator operates a calculation could be made.

How many amps from a kilowatt of solar power?
watts are equal to amps times volts.
How many amps for 8000 BTU at 120 volts?
BTU and kilowatt-hours are measures of energy, while power is measured in either kilowatts or BTU per hour. 1 kilowatt-hour is equal to 3412 BTU, or 1 kilowatt equals 3412 BTU/hr. 8000 BTU per hour is equal to 2.344 kilowatts, which is 19.53 amps at 120 v.
How amps does a refrigerator use?
Depends on what refrigerator you are interested in. They all have a label somewhere, usually in the refrigerator compartment that lists the current. My refrigerator has a rating of 11.6 Amps. This is not a consistent current, but would be when the compressor is running.
How much light does a1000 watt metal halide cover?
A 1000W metal halide lamp ballast uses about 8% of the lamp's wattage, meaning that a 1000W lamp actually consumes 1080 watts, or 1.08 kilowatts. STEP ONE - TAKE HOURS USED AND MULTIPLY BY 1.08 kW STEP TWO - TAKE THAT AND MULTIPLY IT BY COST OF ELECTRICITY, WHICH FOR RESIDENTIAL IN 2008 IS AROUND 11 CENTS/kWH (10 CENTS COMMERCIAL RATES)
What is the kilowatt power draw of an electric furnace that measures 20 amps and 240 volts at it's power circuit?
For the furnace Watts = Amps x Volts Divide watts by 1000 to get 4.8KW.
How many amps to a kilowatt?
That depends on the voltage.
What are the amps on A Kilowatt?
On 120 v a kilowattt is 8.3 amps, on 240 v it's 4.15 amps.
How can you convert kw to amps?
watts = volts x amps kilowatt = 1000 watts
How many amps from a kilowatt of solar power?
watts are equal to amps times volts.
Are wattage ratings based on an hour?
No, wattage is the product of amps times volts. You are charged by a utility company for the amount of watts that are used in a hour. These watts are totaled up over a month and multiplied by a specific kw/h (kilowatt per hour) that is set by the utility company. In my area I am charged .08 cents for every kilowatt (1000) watts used per hour.
How many amps will give you a kW?
Amps can not give you a kilowatt with out a voltage being applied to the question. Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = 1000/ Volts.
Is a battery a kilowatt?
A battery stores charge and supplies voltage and current. A kilowatt (KW) is a measure of power = Volts x Amps.
Your refrigerator is 5.6 amps so how much does it cost you a month at 14cents per kilowatt?
$67.74 using 120 volts. Great job on the math, but a refrigerator doesn't run 24 hours a day. It runs off of a thermostat and has periods of off/on. It depends on the climate in which you live (i.e. how hot it is in your house) as to how often your refrigerator kicks on. Its actually really hard to keep track of. If you buy a "Kill A Watt" meter, you can plug your fridge into it and it will tell you how many watts the fridge has actually used in a day. It probably only runs a few hours total each day!

Is the amount of electricity used in your home measured in amps or kilowatt hours?
The meter on the side of your house is a watt meter. You are charged for the electricity that you use in kilowatt/hours. See related links below
How di you convert kw to amps for a one phase system?
A kw (kilowatt) is 1000 amps x volts. If you assume your one phase system has 120 volts, then divide by 120. Cheap, but close enough for most work, assume 100 volts, then each amp is a tenth of a kilowatt.
