Best Answer

Power (eg Kilowatts) multiplied by Time (eg Hours) = Energy (eg Kiliwatthours).

And the power companies bill you for the energy you use (note: not the power, although that is often the loose description).

What is the difference between va and watt rating of an electrical appliance?

Depends on the appliance, and in most cases, it does not matter. For a purely resistive appliance, such as a kettle, or a toaster, the two should be the same. Certain devices such as computers and other electronics will consume reactive power, which is measured by the VA rating. The Watt rating measures only real power. In residential settings, you will not be billed for reactive power, and so you do not need to worry about the VA rating. However, the VA rating is the "true" power required by the device, so if you are planning to hook it up to a generator or UPS, you will need to be able to provide at least that much power.

How do you power a 1500 watt AC appliance in a car?

You can buy an "inverter." It plugs into the cigarette lighter or accessory plug or directly clips to the battery terminals and converts the 12 volt DC to AC. You can then plug your appliance into it. Be sure to get an inverter that is the right wattage capacity for your device.
