∙ 15y agokWhr is calculated by taking the wattage of the appliance in question, multiplying it by how many hours it's on, then dividing by 1000.
So, for example, if you leave a fan on all month and it consumes 85 watts:
85W * 24 hours * 30 days / 1000 = 61.2kWhr
Another example, if you watch TV for three hours every day, and your TV consumes 120W:
120W * 3 hours / 1000 = 0.36kWhr
So, 0.36kWhr per day, or 10.8kWhr per month (0.36 * 30). If your energy cost is, for example, $0.08/kWhr, then you're paying $0.86 per month for your TV habits.

∙ 12y agoKill-a-Watt is a commercial product that measures the number of kilowatts of power you consume from the power line connected to it.
One Kilowatt is 1000 watts.
NoteYou don't consume power; you consume energy which is expressed in kilowatt hours, not kilowatts.

Where is a smart meter installed?
In the same place the regular kilowatt hour meter was installed.
How many joules are there in a kilowatt-hour?
These do not have the same units. 1 kilowatt hour per meter cubed is in kg m-1 s-2 1 kilojoule per kg is in m2 s-2
What unit of electricity measures is used to measure the power consumption of a device?
The kilowatt hour (KWHr) measures electricity use.
How do you calculate electricity bill from CT meter?
Take the amount of kWh that the meter states that you have used and multiply it by the cost of a kWh in your area.Another AnswerSubtract the energy meter reading from the previous billing period from that from the current billing period to determine the number of kilowatt hours used during that period. Multiply this difference by the cost per kilowatt hour charged by your energy provider. Note, however, some energy providers have a complicated billing system (tariff) in which the cost per kilowatt hour changes according to the amount of energy you use: x cents per kilowatt hour for the first so many kilowatt hours, y cents per kilowatt hour for the next so many kilowatt hours, and so on. Additionally, there may be a multiplication factor based on the changing price of fuel.
What is the function of electric meter?
The function of the electric meter is to inform the power company how much electricity you have used - so they know how much to charge you !AnswerWhat is colloquially known as an 'electric meter', or 'electricity meter', is correctly termed an energy meter. As the name implies, an energy meter is used to measure the amount of energy (not'electricity', which is not a quantity!) purchased from the electricity supply company for the purpose of billing its customers. This energy is measured in units called kilowatt hours (kW.h) and, for this reason, energy meters are sometimes referred to as 'kilowatt hour meters' or 'watt hour meters'.

How is domestic electricity measured?
It is not power which is measured in homes, but energy consumption. Electricity companies charge for energy consumption in kilowatt hours (kW.h). This is done using an energy meter (also known as a 'watt-hour meter' or 'kilowatt-hour meter'), which monitors the supply voltage, and the in-phase component of the load current.

How do you get the equivalent of square meter to kilowatt?
Square meter is area and Kilowatt is energy. There is no equivalent.
How many joules are equivalent to one kilowatt per hour?
The energy 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) is 3600000 joules.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'kilowatt per hour'. You probably mean 'kilowatt hour'?
What is the difference between Kilowatt Meter with balanced load and with unbalanced load?
'Balanced loads' apply to three-phase a.c. loads. A three-phase kilowatt hour meter will measure both balanced and unbalanced loads, when correctly connected.

How is electricity charged from the power company?
It is usually charged by the kilowatt hour which the company gets from reading your meter every month.
How can a kilowatt-hour Meter be stopped?
We in the Wiki community will NOT tell you how to break the law ! <<>> The above answer makes one think that they can be stopped. The only way that a kilowatt hour meter can be stopped is to stop drawing current through it. Otherwise your consumption of power just keeps adding up and you utility bill gets higher.
How many kilowatt per hour does a 10kilowatts generate?
There is no such thing as a "kilowatt per hour". Kilowatt is a unit of power, not of energy. A unit of energy is kilowatt-hour. That's kilowatt times hours, not "per" hour ("per" implies division, not multiplication). If a generator produces 10 kilowatts, that means it produces 10 kilowatt-hours every hour.
How many rotations of a meter is a kilowatt hour?
for a disc type (electromechanical) meter the number of disc revolutions to indicate 1 kwh would be found by the formula 1000/ Kh, the watthour constant of the meter.
