How to calculate power consumption



The main part of payment for utilitiesaccounted for power consumption. And each owner does not want to overpay for extra watts. That is why many people have an acute problem in calculating the optimal amount of electricity needed. After all, this will help to save money.





How to calculate power consumption


















You will need




  • -calculator;
  • -Notebook;
  • -pen-pencil).




Instructions





1


Make a list of all electrical appliancesin your apartment. On the contrary, each write an approximate time of work per day. On any household appliances, on the back panel, or in their passports, the exact power consumption is described. This should also be written down.





2


Calculate the number of bulbs located atyou in the apartment. Write them down by power. For example, 3 bulbs for 100W, 2 for 60W, etc. There is such a stereotype that the main load on the mains is given by bulbs. But this is not so. The washing machine consumes twenty-five hundred watts of lamps per hour of work.





3


Check the list. It should record all the electrical appliances that are in your apartment. Opposite to everyone should be the time (hours) of work per day (day) and the number of watts consumed.





4


Multiply all kilowatts by the clock. The figure, which will result in the end, indicates the consumption of electricity per day. It should be remembered that this is just an estimated figure. The power consumption should be calculated on the basis of specific circumstances. For example, if you have a small child, the washing machine works 3-4 times more than usual, and therefore the figure should be adjusted only when all the specific circumstances are taken into account.





5


Now calculate the power of all the lightingdevices. Summarize all the power bulbs, for example, 2x100 + 3x60 + 1x40, etc. As a result, you get the number of watts that all lighting devices consume. Multiply the resulting amount by the clock / day and you will get the number of watts consumed by the lighting devices per day. Now, to the result, add electrical appliances. After everything has been summed up, multiply the received amount of kW by 31 and get the monthly electricity consumption.
