Commercial meters will multiply voltage x current x time x power factor. Since the voltage and the current change over time, this is really an integration.
A measure of electrical energy equivalent to one kilowatt hour is a unit of energy equal to 3.6 million joules.
Kilowatt is a measure of the rate of energy use. It is 1,000 Watts or 1,000 Joules per second. A kilowatt hour is 1,000 Joules per second for 3,600 seconds or 3,600,000 Joules. This means a Kilowatt hour not a rate but a measure of total energy used.
It is a unit of energy. If energy is transferred at a rate (power) of one kilowatt, during one hour, then one kilowatt-hour (kilowatt times hour) of energy will be transferred. Since a joule is equal to a watt-second, a kilowatt-hour is the same as 3.6 million joules.
a kilowatt hour measures electrical usage in the home usually 600 to 1200 kwh for the average home
A fraction of a Kilowatt Hour is a portion of energy consumed or produced equal to one thousandth (0.001) of a Kilowatt Hour. It is a unit often used to measure small amounts of electricity in households or businesses.
Watts is smaller than kilowatts. watts is unit of power and kilowatts hour is unit of energy. Electrical devices are specified in watts where as electrical bill is for kilowatt hr use.
watts or kilowatts are used to measure power, which is how quickly energy flows, and electrical energy is measured in kilowatt-hours. A kilowatt-hour is also known as a Unit of electrical energy, and it is the amount of energy used when a power of 1 kilowatt flows for 1 hour.
The energy 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) is 3600000 joules.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'kilowatt per hour'. You probably mean 'kilowatt hour'?
There are 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) in 1 unit of electricity. The terms "kWh" and "unit" are commonly used interchangeably to measure electricity consumption.
Yes, kWh (kilowatt-hour) is a unit of energy commonly used to measure electricity consumption. It represents the amount of energy consumed by a device or system that has a power draw of one kilowatt for one hour.

There is no such thing as a "kilowatt per hour". Kilowatt is a unit of power, not of energy. A unit of energy is kilowatt-hour. That's kilowatt times hours, not "per" hour ("per" implies division, not multiplication). If a generator produces 10 kilowatts, that means it produces 10 kilowatt-hours every hour.
