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.

500VA is equal to how many watts?

Oh, honey, 500VA is equal to 500 watts. VA stands for volt-amps, which is the apparent power in an electrical circuit, while watts are the real power. So, in this case, they're one and the same. Hope that lights up your day!


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.


How do you calculate watts on your electricity bill?

To calculate the watts on your electricity bill, you would need to look at the wattage of each electrical device in your home (which can usually be found on the device itself or in the user manual) and the number of hours each device is used per day. Multiply the wattage by the number of hours used per day to calculate the watt-hours for each device, then sum all the watt-hours to get the total watts consumed over a billing cycle.


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 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


How do you calculate the electricity produced in one day?

To calculate the electricity produced in one day, you would need to multiply the power output of the source (in watts) by the number of hours the source is operational in one day (typically 24 hours). This will give you the total energy produced in watt-hours (Wh) for that day. You can convert this to kilowatt-hours (kWh) by dividing by 1,000.


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 many kilowatts per hour can a 150 amp panel handle a day?

Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, a 150 amp panel can handle a maximum of 18,000 watts per hour (150 amps x 120V). To calculate the daily usage, you would multiply this by 24 hours in a day, resulting in 432,000 watt-hours or 432 kilowatt-hours per day.


How many watts could a solar panel generate in one day?

The watt is a rate of delivery or use of energy (1 Joule per second) Anything called watts per day means an increase in power per day. (100 watts first day, 200 watts second day, 300 watts third day etc). I'm sure you don't mean that. Direct ("normal" ) sunlight that falls on a square metre is up to about 100 Watts so you'll never get more power from that even with 100% efficiency. Consult the brochures. Probably a few tens of watts per square meter. Energy per day is watts x time-of-sunlight (direct, near 90 degrees). Which will be Joules. 3600x1000 Joules equal 1 Kilowatt-hour, sometimes called "1 unit".


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.


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.
