1 kw means 1 kilowatt which is 1000 watts. If you use 100w light bulbs, 1kw would be the same as using 10 of those at the same time. The watt or the kilowatt is a measure of electrical power, that is the rate of producing or using energy.
The cost of electricity depends on the rate charged by your utility company, not the voltage. The amount of power consumed (in kilowatts) determines the cost, regardless of whether it's at 240V or 120V. The rate charged per kilowatt-hour will determine the cost.

1kW : 3,412.142 BTU/hr
"Watts RMS" is better represented as "Watts average". Since 1000 watts is 1kw you have "1000 watts average" and you can derive "1Kw average". So 1000 watts RMS will consume 1 Kw
The basic formula for the Voltage, Current, Power relationship is P=I*E. To find one when the other two are known, simply fill in the two you know and solve. In this case P=1000W and Voltage = 240V (It is important that you pay attention to the unit definer here, if it were 240 mV, you would have Voltage = .240V and so on). 1000W = I * 240V I = 1000W/240V I = 4.17A
Units of electricity (1KW - 1000W) Units of weight (1 tonne = 1000 Kg)
The cost of electricity depends on the rate charged by your utility company, not the voltage. The amount of power consumed (in kilowatts) determines the cost, regardless of whether it's at 240V or 120V. The rate charged per kilowatt-hour will determine the cost.
A 3 heat switch enables two elements for example of 1kw, to give out 100% power, 50% power and finally 25%. That equates to two 1kw elements in parallel. (100%) One 1kw element on power only. (50%) And finally both 1kw elements in series. (25%)
