Hi well kilo means 1000 so thtas 1000 watts per hour
1,000 watts
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.
1000
746 watts = 1 horsepower 1,000 watts = 1.3405 horsepower (rounded) 1 kilowatt-hour = 1.3405 horsepower-hour (rounded)
Your term "hydro" is another term for kilowatt hours. So to answer your question a 4800 watt heater on for an hour would consume 4.8 kilowatt/hours. To take it further if you knew what you pay for a kilowatt hour in your area, multiply it by 4.8 and you could see how much it costs you to operate the heater. An example if you pay .11 cents a kilowatt hour, the price would be .528 or 53 cents an hour.
kilowatt hour - the use of 1000 watts in one hour
A unit (as mentioned on the electricity bills) is represented in kWH or Kilowatt Hour. This is the actual electricity or energy used. If you use 1000 Watts or 1 Kilowatt of power for 1 hour then you consume 1 unit or 1 Kilowatt-Hour (kWH) of electricity.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! To find out how many kilowatt-hours 50 watts used for 12 hours equals, we simply need to do a little math. Since 1 kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts, we can convert the 50 watts to 0.05 kilowatts. Multiplying 0.05 kilowatts by 12 hours gives us a total of 0.6 kilowatt-hours. Happy calculating!
a kilowatt is 1000 watts a megawatt is 1000000 watts a gigawatt is 1000000000 watts a terrawatt is 1000000000000 or a million million watts
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.
In North America it is kilowatt/hour. A kilowatt is 1000 watts. To find out how much your utility company charges you per kilowatt/hour, look on your utility bill. On my bill it is .08 cents for every kilowatt/hour that I consume.
