1 unit = 1 KW X 1 Hour
so it means that unit of current can be converted into kWh by multiplying it by the watt and t time taken (in hours).
The average home fluorescent lamp consumes 40W of power. Running for one hour it will consume 0.04 KWh. Units of electricity are charged per Kilowatt hour.
Electricity Meter. I've never heard that term. The other terms are also foreign to me and I have been using measuring equipment for over 40 years. I have never seen a meter that will actually show kWh. An electrical USE meter (like what is on your home) shows kWh used. More explanation in the question would help.
The hydroelectric production of South America, as of 2006, is 618.80 billion KWH.
The amount of electricity consumed by a 42-inch LCD TV can vary based on factors such as the model, age, and settings. On average, a 42-inch LCD TV consumes around 80-150 watts per hour. To calculate the daily electricity usage, you would multiply the wattage by the number of hours the TV is on. For example, if the TV consumes 100 watts per hour and is on for 5 hours a day, it would use 500 watt-hours or 0.5 kilowatt-hours per day.
18 cubic foot refrigerator (bottom-freezer) purchased in June 1998; failed in December 2007 (lasted 9.5 years); energy use is 699 kWh per year. New 18 cubic foot refrigerator (bottom-freezer) energy use is 476 kWh per year. Buy a new one to save energy.
good question A KWH is 1000 watts of power used for one hour. A 100 watt bulb would need to be on for 10 hours to use 1 KWH.
To convert electricity price from per kWh (kilowatt-hour) to mWh (megawatt-hour), you need to multiply the price per kWh by 1,000. This is because there are 1,000 kWh in 1 mWh. For example, if the price is $0.10 per kWh, the price per mWh would be $100.
1 kilowatt-hour is 3412 British Thermal Units, so 4 kWh is 13648 BTU.
The two sets of units are not compatible. While a gallon may be converted to a litre, there is no relationship between kWh and hour.
The amount of CO2 generated from electricity (kWh) is dependant upon the way the electricity is generated. Burning a barrel of oil to produce electricity yields far more CO2 than generating the same amount of electricity from wind or water. One should contact their electricity provider to get a break-down of how the electricity is generated.
"Yes, it can. But some units will not convert to others such as KWH into horsepower, as they deal with slightly different things. KWH is energy and horsepower is power, so that won't work"
1 kilowatt-hour is 3412 British Thermal Units, so 4 kWh is 13648 BTU.
To convert from energy units (kWh) to joules, you can use the conversion factor: 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10^6 joules. Therefore, 250 kWh is equal to 9 × 10^8 joules.
Normally, gas is measured by volume units. It can be either cubic meters (m^3) or cubic feet (ft^3) or any other volume unit. No mater what is the volume unit, this volume contains a heating value. This heating value is expressed in kWh. You can ask your local gas company how many kWh does a m^3 (or ft^3) of your gas contains. It depends on the type of gas that is distributed in your area.
To convert Joules to kilowatt-hours (kWh), divide the number of Joules by 3,600,000 (the number of Joules in a kWh). For example, to convert 1,000,000 Joules to kWh, you would divide 1,000,000 by 3,600,000 to get approximately 0.278 kWh.

It takes one ton of coal to generate an average of 2500 KWH of electricity.
