A kilowatt hour is the use of 1000 watts of power in 1 hour. The deicers should have a rating of a voltage such as 110 volts or 220 volts and a current of "X" amps. Multiply the voltage (in volts) times the current (in amps) and you will then know how much "power" in watts the deicer uses. My guess is you will see numbers such as 120 volts at 5 amps. Therefore 120 x 5 = 600 watts per hour or .6 kilowatts per hour.

What is the electricity usage of a power Circular saw?
It depends on the power rating of the saw. If it is a 1 KW (Kilowatt) saw then it will use 1 KWH (Kilowatt hour) of electricity for every hour it is used. This is equivalent to 1 unit of electricity. If it is 500 W (Watt) then it will use half this. If it is 2 KW it will use double this.
What is the meaning of 1 unit electric energy in domestic use?
1 unit is 1 kilowatthour, ie 1 kilowatt for 1 hour
How do you convert power reading in kWh to kva?
These are two different values. kWh is the amount of kW that are used in an hour. To convert kW to kva use the same formula but leave out the pf (power factor) component.AnswerFirst of all your should realise that power is measured in watts (or kilowatts), not in kilowatt hours! A kilowatt hour is an unit of measurement for energy, or work done, NOT power! So your question doesn't actually make any sense!Furthermore, a kilovolt ampere is the unit of measurement for apparent power, and it should be written as 'kV.A', not 'kva'.So you cannot convert energy in kilowatt hours to apparent power in kilovolt amperes, as we are talking about two completely different quantities! It's like asking "How do you convert miles into kilometres per hour?" That's what I mean by your question not making any sense!The first answer needs correction, as the kilowatt hour is not 'the amount of kilowatts used in one hour'. You do not 'use' kilowatts, as kilowatts is simply a rate. So the correct definition is that a kilowatt hour is the amount of energy used in one hour, at the rate of one kilowatt.
How many kilowatt hours are used to light a 100 watt light bulb for 1 hour?
Remember that 1 kW = 1000 W So 100 / 1000 = 0.1 100 W = 0.1 kW You take the power - the wattage of the lamp, and multiply with how long it is lit. A 100 W bulb - 0.1 kW - will use 0.1 kWh in one hour. Or 1 kWh in 10 hours. Or 10 kWh in 100 hours.
Average kilowatt hours a us household uses in a month?
From an article about Al Gore's exorbitant energy consumption, dated February 26, 2007: "The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy." http://www.tennesseepolicy.org/main/article.php?article_id=367 10,656 / 12 = 888 kWh per month
