There is really no way to give you a straight answer on this one. For instance, I live in a doublewide with an electric furnace. The burners on it draw 53K watts, so in the winter when other people with gas furnaces electric bills go down, ours goes up. It cost's us twice as much to run the heater as it does to run the A/C. Go figure. So the power requirements will vary greatly depending on the size of the house, how many different things (appliances and such) are sucking from the meter. And of course the weather will be another factor.

How many homes can 3000 megawatts power?

The number of homes that 3000 megawatts can power depends on the average electricity consumption per home. On average, a home consumes around 10,972 kilowatt-hours per year, which is approximately 1.25 kilowatts. Therefore, 3000 megawatts could power around 2.4 million homes.


How many kW per hour does a Home computer use?

It really depends on the computer. If you have an old-style CRT type monitor that stays on too, it may use far more power than the PC. You can figure the number for your particular setup, here's how: First, electrical consumtion is actually measured in kilowatt-hours, not kilowatts. A kilowatt is one-thousand watts. If you have a device that draws 1,000 watts, and you leave it on for one hour, you have consumed (and will have to pay for) one kilowatt-hour. Sometimes appliances are rated in watts, sometimes in amps. Simply multiply amps times 120 (assuming your in the US) to get watts. 100 watts is 0.1 kilowatts, 500 watts is 0.5 kilowatts, 1,230 watts would be 1.23 kilowatts. 3 amps is 0.36 kilowatts (3 X 120 = 360 watts = 0.36 kilowatts). Get it? Here's my setup as an example: My PC is a laptop. The power supply says 95 watts. That's 0.095 kilowatts. I put the laptop in a docking station so I can use a real keyboard and monitor. My monitor says 2 amps. That's 0.24 kilowatts (2 X 120 = 240 watts). See, my monitor actually uses more electricity than the laptop! That's why most modern monitors have a power-save feature where they turn off after a period of inactivity. So, the total power needed is 0.335 kilowatts (0.24 + 0.095). If I leave them on for a whole month (there are about 720 hours in a month) I would use 241.2 kilowatt-hours (0.335 X 720). At my electrical rate of 10.6 cents ($0.106) per kilowatt-hour, the electricity needed will cost me $25.57 (= $0.106 X 241.2).


What is the typical number of amps per circuit and what is the typical number of volts that enter your home and what is the typical number of volts for each circuit and what is a gfi?

The typical number of amps per circuit is 15 or 20. The typical number of volts that enter a home is 120/240 volts. The typical number of volts for each circuit is 120 volts. A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a safety device that helps prevent electric shock by quickly disconnecting power when it detects a ground fault.


How many KVA does a wall outlet use?

A typical wall outlet in a home is rated for about 1 to 2 KVA (kilovolt-amperes) capacity. However, the actual power consumption will vary depending on the devices plugged into the outlet and their power requirements.


What is rotation shaft?

There are many, many examples. Generally, rotating shafts are used to transmit power from a producer to a user device. A few examples: Drive shaft in an automobile- transmits power from the engine to the wheels. Propeller shaft in a ship- transmits power form the engine to the propeller. Pump shaft- transmits power from a motor to the pump impeller. Rotating shafts are all over the place. You can find dozens of examples in the typical appliances in any typical home.

How many lemons does it take to power up a house?

The number of lemons required to power a house depends on various factors, including the energy needs of the household and the efficiency of the lemon battery setup. A typical lemon battery produces about 0.9 volts and can generate a small current. Given that an average home requires several kilowatts of power, it would take an impractically large number of lemons—potentially thousands—to produce enough electricity to power a house. Therefore, while it's a fun experiment, lemons are not a viable energy source for homes.


How much would it cost to run a home on solar panel?

The cost of your solar system is directly related to how many kilowatts your home uses each month. That is what determines how much power you wish to generate.


How many kilowatts does a house use per minute?

Kilowatt is a measure of power, in other words the amount of energy passing per second or minute or hour. So you can have 1 kilowatt of power continuously. A TV uses about 0.2 kW and a typical kettle uses 2 kW when running. The power supply capability to an area is generally reckoned to average about 1-1.5 kW per house, some use more, some use less. Kilowatt is the measure of a given level of power at any given moment in the described circuit. Taken as such, peak power levels in an average residence can vary widely based upon the electrical loads present in the home. If for example a home uses air conditioning, or electric heat the consumption would be many times that used in a home with out these loads. Painted in broad strokes, the typical residence peak demand has increased in recent decades. Typical home peak consumption for utility load estimations are around 8,400 watts (8.4KW).


How many homes can 3000 megawatts power?

The number of homes that 3000 megawatts can power depends on the average electricity consumption per home. On average, a home consumes around 10,972 kilowatt-hours per year, which is approximately 1.25 kilowatts. Therefore, 3000 megawatts could power around 2.4 million homes.


How many kilowatts does it take to run 200 amp home?

The maximum would be 200 x 240 = 48 kilowatts assuming you had normal 3 wire service. However, your home would never use that much. Average would probably be about 3 or 4 kilowatts, depending on time of day and your heating and air-conditioning systems. Your electric utility bill probably tells you how many kilowatt-hours you used in a month. Just divide this by 730 which is the number of hours in the average month, and that will give your average load in kilowatts for that month.


How many kilowatts does it take to run 100 amp home?

A three wire home distribution service rated at 100 amps has a wattage capacity of;From L1 to L2 at 240 volts x 100 amps = 24000 watts or 24 kilowatts. From L1 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts. From L2 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts.


How many monocrystaline solar panels are needed to power a home?

That depends on the power consumption of the home and the size of the panels. A typical home can be powered with about 7 to 10 Kw's of panels. Energy conservation techniques would need to be enforced to stay with those parameters. I have 2 Kw's of panels on my home and power over 20% of my home on the panels. Your results will vary by location and energy requirements.
