The same as it costs to operate any 1000 watt device or combination thereof. Your electrical bill is rated in kwh or kilowatt hours. (A kilowatt happens to be 1000 watts per hour). So if your local rate is say 8.5 cents per kwh ( a typical amount ) then it will cost 8.5 cents per hour ( plus tax & service fees, etc.!) Check your electric bill and find out your exact per kilowatt/hour rate. Since this type fixture is a commercial fixture, your rate may be a higher commercial rate than most residences.
To answer this question, i need the power factor of the motor.CommentYou don't need the power factor, as you already know its true power (watts), but you do need to know the efficiency of the motor to determine its input power. You also need to know the cost per kilowatt hour.But you can get a rough idea by multiplying the number of kilowatts, by the time in hours, by the cost per kilowatt hour. For a more accurate answer, you need to divide this by the efficiency of the motor.
You don't need to - the "unit" by which electricity is sold is the kWh.kWh = unit1 kWh = 1 uniteach unit is equal to 1000 watt-hours.CommentThe term, 'unit', is short for 'Board of Trade Unit'. The Board of Trade used to regulate the cost of electricity in Britain.
It cost $.9 per kilowatt hour
They cost about $3-$4 per watt. You can't measure it in kilowatt hours unless you know where the panel is.
$96
Because electricity is no sold in kilowatts, it is sold in kilowatt hours.
First find your watt hours and by moving the decimal place change to kilowatt hours. Then multiply that answer by .07 cents per kilowatt hour.
First, divide watts by 1000 to get kilowatts: watts / 1000 = kW Then multiply kilowatts by the hours of usage to get kilowatt-hours kW * hours = kWh Finally, multiply kilowatt-hours by the cost per: kWh * (cost per kWh) = cost to operate
To find out the cost of operating 60 1000watt Metal Halide lamps for 10 hours, you multiply the amount of power (in kilowatts) by time and hours. That will give you kWh (kilowatt hours), then you find out how much your power costs in $/kWh, then divide the kilowatt hours you are using by the cost ($/kWh).
To answer this question a total wattage of the heaters and the cost per kilowatt hour must be stated. The cost per kilowatt hour can be obtained from your Ontario Hydro bill. Multiply the total wattage by the length of time in hours that the heaters are in operation. This will give you the cost of operation of the heaters.
Electricity in the US cost about ten cents per kilowatt-hour. The average family uses about 10,000 kilowatt-hours per year. So that's about $1,000 per year. This is one of the reasons why alternative energy is so difficult to implement--your electricity is really a bargain.
Not enough information - I don't know what your light company charges you per kWh. Here is how you calculate this: a) Convert the week to hours. b) Convert the watts to kilowatts. c) Multiply the result of part (a) by the result of part (b), to get the total number of kilowatt-hours. d) Get the cost per kilowatt-hour. Look at a bill from your power company. If the cost per kilowatt-hour is not stated explicitly, you can divide the total amount of dollars (or whatever) by the kilowatt-hours billed, to get the cost, in dollars per kilowatt-hour. e) Multiply the result of part (c) by the result of part (d).
The Maintenance for the equipment and people to operate it. Hydroelectricity is generated at damns. essentially it is almost free because the water does all the work, but it does not create a lot of electricity
No, kilowatt-hours are an exact measure of a quantity of energy. Energy is something that can be measured exactly and if you have an electricity supply at your house there is a meter that measures the kilowatt-hours you use. If you have a 40-watt light, it uses 40 watt-hours if it is on for an hour. If it is left on for 24 hours it uses 40 x 24 watt-hours, which is 0.96 kilowatt-hours, that might cost you 10-20 cents or pence.
