How much electricity do different household appliances use?

Answer 1

I think most appliances such as washers, dishwashers, driers, etc would be up to 3 kw. Refrigerators, freezers, and smaller appliances would be less. The biggest load, if you use electric cooking, would be the cooker. This could be 10-15 kw though mostly you would not use all the features at the same time.

All appliances should have a rating plate attached which gives the power rating in watts.

Answer 2

Electrical appliances do not 'consume' power. They 'consume' energy. Power is simply the rate at which energy is consumed.

Actually, 'consumption' is a misnomer because what appliances actually do is work, in other words they convertelectrical energy into another form of energy.

For example, an electric kettle's element does work on water, converting electrical energy into internal energy. A rise in internal energy of the water (and the kettle itself!) is accompanied by a rise in temperature. When the temperature of the water exceeds that of the surrounding atmosphere, then energy is lost from the water through heattransfer. In this case, this heat transfer represents a waste of energy.

Answer 3

The rate that energy is used is called the power and its basic unit is the Watt.

1000 watts (1 kilowatt) used for 1 hour would use the basic commercial unit of electrical energy, the kilowatt-hour.

Answer 4

if not using too much electricity it's on average about 800kw. But if you use a lot it's between 1200kw to 4000kw. It all depends on the size of your house, lightnings and all the other electronic equipments(refrigerator, television, heat and water resistance, air conditioning, washing/drying machine, hair dryer...) and their usage.

Answer 5

The electricity usage of household appliances can vary widely. For example, a refrigerator typically uses 100-200 watts per hour, a washing machine uses 500-2,000 watts per load, and a microwave uses around 1,000-1,500 watts when in use. It's important to check the energy label on each appliance for more specific information about its power consumption.
