You can rate a generator in any multiple you like. It's simply more convenient to express power as, say, 500 MW, rather than as 500 000 kW or as a fraction of a gigawatt. Incidentally, it's...
kilowatts, not kilo watts
megawatts, not mega watts
gigawatts, not giga watts
Watts are a unit of power. So 40 watts of power to an LED are the same as 40 watts of power to a fluorescent. Sometimes LEDs are rated in equivalent watts which is an attempt to relate watts to brightness or lumens. You need to compare lumens and the "temperature" of the bulbs in Kelvin to get the comparison I think you are looking for.
Transformers are rated in KVA and MVA. The load determines the power factor. It is obvious to multiply the VA with cosine angle to get Watts or Kilo watts. While manufacturing the transformer or at its installation we don't know the load power factor. Hence we could not determine the rating in Watts or kilo watts or Mega watts. We simply note it as VA or KVA. S.Dhanabal
Watts = Volts x Amps x Power factor For an AC Unit I am guessing that your PF = .75 so we have 115 x 9.2 x .75 = 793.5 Watts.
Power is measured in watts.
Power = volts x amps, so your example will be 12 x 0.5 = 6 watts. (500mA = 0.5 amp) Note we don't talk of 'watts per hour', it is just watts. 1 watt = 1 joule per second
The rated voltage of an appliance is no guide to its power rating. To find out the power (watts), you will need to look at your washing machine's nameplate, which will indicate both its rated voltage and its rated power.
Light bulbs are rated in watts

No, watts are a measure of power while fuses are rated in amperes (amps). To determine the fuse rating, you need to calculate the current in amps by dividing the power in watts by the voltage. Then, choose a fuse that is rated equal to or slightly higher than the calculated current in amps.
When a light bulb is rated at 60 watts, it means that it consumes 60 watts of electrical power when it is turned on. This power consumption determines the brightness of the bulb and is used to measure its energy usage.
Rms is watts that's the amount of watts a speaker is rated for.

Maximum 23,000 watts provided the power factor of the load is 1 (e.g. a heater). For a typical motor with a power factor of 0.8 the watts would be 18,400.
home appliances are rated by watts or amps
In watt watt watts
Generators are rated in watts because watts are the scale on which energy is measured.
