Any other appliance that runs on 1200 Watts would use the same amount of energy in an equal time.

But computer power supplies do not always run to their full capacity, so 1200 Watts is the maximum output it can supply if needed, in which case it would probably take 5-10% more than that from the supply.

Appliances using a simlilar power are a toaster or an iron.

What is a 220 line?

A 220 line typically refers to a 220-volt electrical supply line used for appliances or equipment that require higher power consumption. It is commonly used for larger appliances like electric dryers, ovens, and air conditioners.


Advantages and disadvantages of all electrical appliances?

Advantages: Electrical appliances offer convenience, efficiency, and precision in performing tasks. They can save time and effort, improve productivity, and provide consistent results. Disadvantages: Electrical appliances can be costly to purchase and operate, contribute to energy consumption and environmental impact, and may be prone to malfunctions or breakdowns. Additionally, their reliance on electricity can be a limitation in areas with unreliable power supply.


Does a house computer run your electric bill up?

Yes, somewhat. A typical computer has a power supply of somewhere between 250 and 500 watts... in normal operation it doesn't use the full capacity, but still, if it's on, it's using some power, and that will increase your overall power usage.


What happens to your appliances if there is not enough power and the power trips?

If there is not enough power and the power trips, your appliances will lose power abruptly. This sudden loss of power can cause damage to sensitive electronics and appliances, particularly if the power surges when it returns. It is recommended to use surge protectors and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) devices to protect your appliances in such situations.


What is the effect of overvoltage on kwh usage?

In simple appliances that consist of basically just a resistor, the power is proportional to the voltage-squared, so each 1% increase in voltage gives a 2% increase in power. That applies to an electric convector. On the other hand if it has a thermostat, it will cut out just a little sooner if the voltage is higher, so in the long run the kWh will be about the same. Other appliances using a switch-mode power supply (e.g. computer) draw the same power when the voltage is changed (within reason). Most electric lights draw more power when the voltage is increased.

Does a toaster use electric if plugged in?

Toasters and similar appliances use no power unless they are operating. Even if they are plugged into a mains supply, no current will be drawn unless the bread carrier is lowered to its operating position. However, it is good practice to disconnect appliances if they are not going to be used for long periods of time.
