You are confusing the units.

  • If 80 watts can power a device for a second, the same 80 watts can power the same device for a year - assuming the generator, or whatever produces the power, continues working. A watt is a unit of power (energy / time), not a unit of energy. Thus, since you are using units of power, the 16 hours are completely irrelevant to the problem.
  • Nor can you directly compare watts and volts. The relationship is: power = voltage x current. In SI units: watts = volts x amperes. If a device uses less than or equal to 80 watts, your 80 watts will be enough; otherwise they won't. If the specifications of an electrical device only specify volts and amperes, multiply them to get the watts required.

How much power should a standby generator put out to maintain the average US household for 24 hours?

The amount of power a standby generator should put out to maintain the avg. US household for a one day is 20 watts system. This a standard amount watts to power you home and today they more selection in watts to power the house more than one day.


If i use 7000 watts per day how many amp hours per day would this be?

To obtain amps from watts a voltage must be given.


How many kilowats for 600 watt light for 12 hours a day?

(600 watts) x (12 hours per day) = 7.2 kilowatt-hours per day


How many watts does a two door refrigerator use in an hour?

When the motor is running it uses the same power - number of watts - all the time. To find the energy used (in watt-hours) you multiply the watts used by the total time in hours. So if it uses 500 watts and is on for 3 minutes each hour, it uses 500x3/60 watt hours each hour, or 600 watt-hours in one day.


How many watts does a house use in a day?

A middle classed home uses 9.6 mega watts a year (9.6 million watts) divide that by 365 and you'll get the answer.AnswerA watt is an instantaneous measurement of the rate at which you consume energy. Therefore, there is no such thing as 'watts per day'. You should be asking 'How many kilowatt hours does a house use in a day?', because a kilowatt hour is an unit of energy.


How do you compute electrical consumption of a device?

A simple electrical device is a 60 watt light bulb. The bulb is consuming 60 watts of electricity from the moment you turn it on. If you keep that light bulb on for 10 hours the power used is 60 watts x 10 hours = 600 watts of power. Electricity is sold in Kilowatt Hours. A Kilowatt is 1000 watts of power. Depending on the state you live in, it sells for 7 to 18 cents per Kilowatt Hour. So if you leave that light bulb on 10 hours per day for 30 days you will have used up 600 watts x 30 days = 18,000 watts of electricity = 18 Kilowatt Hours. At an average cost of 10 cents per Kilowatt Hour that bulb costs you $1.80 per month to leave on. The formula is watts x time x cost per Kilowatt Hour = cost of use...Answer provided by Gene Evangelist


What is the power consumed by 40W bulb in a day?

40 W is the power in this case. Whether you have it on a second, or 24 hours, the power will always be 40 W. Now, if it is actually the energy you want to calculate, multiply the power by the time to get the energy. In units: watts x seconds = joules or: kilowatts x hours = kWh


How much power is a 4 foot baseboard going to consume in a month?

A standard 4 foot baseboard heat will consume 1000 watts/1Kilowatt. So if you could calculate how many hours per day/week/month you can multiply the hours by power consumption and getKWh(Kilowatt Hours) per month.


Does a light bulb use the watts listed in a year or a day?

The watt is a unit of power and power is consumed/dissipated instantaneously and continuously. In other words the watts are used now.Power consumed over a period of time is energy. The most common unit of energy used in the electrical field is the kilowatt-hour. But one could also use a unit of watt-year (8.76 kilowatt-hours) or watt-day (0.024 kilowatt-hours) if one wanted to.
