Ok so if you guys thought about it it should be easy to calculate it's simple math.

If your trying to find out how many Kw/h your going to use.

First figure out how many watts your running.

1000W = 1Kw so divide total number of Watts by 1000

So for a 600W light

600W/1000= 0.6Kw/H

So if you use your light for an hour thats how many Kw you will use for an hour.

Next how many hours do you plan on running it for. Whether it be 18 16 14 or 12 multiply the two numbers together (Kw by number of hours used)

So if your running 600W light for 12/12 equation would be

0.6(Kw)X 12(Hours)= 7.2Kw/H per day of usage

Then multiply that total by the number of days you plan on running your light.

So a 600W light on for 12 hours a day for 60 days will use..

0.6(Kw)X 12 (Hours)X 60(Days)= 432Kw/H

Now multiply that number by whatever your electric company chargers by the Kw/H to estimate cost.

How many amps in a small table lamp?

A 120 volt table lamp with a 75 watt bulb will pull 0.625 amps. With a 100 watt bulb it will pull 0.833 amps. And with a modern fluorescent 13 watt bulb it will pull 0.108 amps.


How many amp will one 1000 watt bulb pull on 240?

Power(Watts) = I (Amps) x E(Voltage) PIE rule. so 1000 = I x 240. 1000/240 = 4.16667 amps.

How many amps does a 1000 watt ballast use?

A 1000 watt ballast operating at 120 volts would use approximately 8.33 amps of current. This can be calculated by dividing the wattage by the voltage (1000W / 120V = 8.33A).


How many amps in1 KW for a 240v sistem?

In a 240V system, 1 kW is equal to approximately 4.17 amps. This calculation is done by dividing the power in watts (1000 watts for 1 kW) by the voltage (240V) in the system.


How many amps is a 1000 watt microwave oven draw It is a 120 volt?

When the manufacturers refer to a 1000 watt oven they usually mean heat into food. The efficiency of ovens vary but it is quite common that a 1000 watt would consume 2000 watts from the mains. Watts = Amps X Volts so at 120V this would be 16.67 amps. But to be more accurate you need to find the actual input power of the oven.

How many unit is 1 kv?

Unfortunately, the question as phrased is meaningless. A watt or kilowatt is a measure of voltage times current - one kilovolt at one amp of current dissipates one kilowatt of energy, but the same kilovolt at one tenth of an amp of current only dissipates 100 watts. Here's the formula: Watts = Volts * Amps
