1. What is Power Consumption Calculation?

Power consumption calculation helps determine the energy usage of electrical appliances in kilowatt-hours (kWh), which is essential for understanding electricity costs and energy efficiency in India.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the power consumption formula:

\[ kWh = \frac{Watts \times Hours}{1000} \]

Where:

\( Watts \) — Power rating of the appliance in watts
\( Hours \) — Duration of usage in hours
\( 1000 \) — Conversion factor from watts to kilowatts

Explanation: This formula converts the power consumption from watts to kilowatt-hours, which is the standard unit for electricity billing in India.

3. Importance of Power Consumption Calculation

Details: Calculating power consumption helps in estimating electricity bills, identifying energy-efficient appliances, and managing energy usage to reduce costs and environmental impact.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the wattage of your appliance and the number of hours it runs. Both values must be positive numbers. The result shows the energy consumption in kWh.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How is kWh related to electricity bills in India?
A: Electricity bills in India are calculated based on kWh consumption, with different tariff rates for domestic, commercial, and industrial users.

Q2: What is the average power consumption of common appliances?
A: LED bulb: 7-15W, Fan: 50-75W, Refrigerator: 100-300W, AC: 1500-2500W, depending on the model and efficiency.

Q3: How can I reduce my electricity consumption?
A: Use energy-efficient appliances (5-star rated), turn off devices when not in use, use natural light, and maintain optimal temperature settings.

Q4: What is the difference between watts and kilowatt-hours?
A: Watts measure power (rate of energy use), while kilowatt-hours measure energy consumption (power × time).

Q5: How accurate is this calculator for estimating electricity bills?
A: The calculator provides accurate energy consumption, but actual bills may vary based on local tariffs, taxes, and other charges.
