How much to run a 100 watt incandesent bulb?

1/10 killowatt per hour (.1kwh). Multiply your utility provider rate by .10 to obtain your answer.Example - $0.12 per kwh multiplied by .10 = 1.2 cents per hour.CommentThere is no such thing as a 'kilowatt per hour'; the correct unit is the 'kilowatt hour'. A 100-W lamp is equivalent to 0.1 kW so, if it operates for one hour, then it consumes 0.1 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy. At, say, 12 cents per kilowatt hour, this equates to 1.2 cents.


How many houses can a 30 kilowatts power?

A kw, or Killowatt = 8.7 amps. So, 30 x 8.7 = approximately 260 amps. A wall Air conditioner draws about 12-15 amps. A refrigerator about 10-12 amps, a 100 watt light bulb .87 amps or less than 1 amp. Houses typically have either a 100 amp main breaker or, 150 and up. In the old days, 60 amps was common. Your answer is, as many houses as it takes to use 260 amps. If it's for a generator, as backup, 4-8 houses to keep the required things working. BUT use a large cable to run the power. 260 amp cable is about 3 ought size. Good luck.
