Best Answer

A kilowatt hour is calculated by adding the watts together and deviding by 1000, this will give you kilowatts (kW). Then work out how many hours you are using this load for. multiply the kW by the hours and you get kWh. eg 15 lamps at 100w = 1500w/1000 = 1.5 kW. If these were left on for 6 hours then 6 x 1.5 = 9 kWh.

Answer

There is no such thing as a 'kilowatt per hour'. It's rather like saying 'kilometres per hour per hour', because a kilowatt is a special name given to a joule per second -in other words, it measures a rate.

How many kilowatts does a revon hair dryer per hours?

No device uses "kilowatts per hour". A watt or kilowatt is a unit of power, not of energy. That means that the "per hour" or "per second" is already implied - the watt refers to a "rate of energy conversion" - not to an amount of energy. If a devices uses a certain amount of kilowatts, it uses this amount all the time while it is on - whether it is kept on for a second or for several days.

How many kilowatt per hour does a 10kilowatts generate?

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.
