What are Watt, Kilowatt and a unit of electricity

Abhishek Jain (Mod) November 29, 2019 400 Comments Ask A Question
When we get our electricity bills, it shows that we have used a certain number of units for the given period. When we go to buy appliances, most o
have watts mentioned on them. If you find it difficult to understand the relation between the two, then you are not alone. Electricity bill and its comp
are confusing to many and with this article we will try to explain what are watt, kilowatt and a unit of electricity.

What are Power and Energy/Electricity

Power and Energy/Electricity are two words that are used so much for each other that many feel that they mean the same. Interestingly both of the
a very different meaning. Power is the rate at which electricity is used and energy/electricity is the actual consumption. To give an analogy, power is
to speed but electricity/energy is the actual distance traveled.
So Power x Time = Electricity (or energy)
Just like Speed x Time = Distance Traveled.
Power and its units

x
Power is always represented in watt (W) or kilowatt (kW). A thousand (1000) watts make one kilowatt. So if any appliance is rated as 1.2 kW then it
that it consumes electricity at a rate of 1200 W. Now as we discussed earlier that power is the rate at which electricity is consumed and not the
xW
electricity consumed, Watt or Kilowatt just represent the rate at which electricity is consumed per hour. Which means that when you buy a 100
does not consume 100 units of electricity but consumes at a rate of 100 W.
Energy/Electricity and its units

A unit (as mentioned on the electricity bills) is represented in kWH or Kilowatt Hour. This is the actual electricity or energy used. If you use 1000 Wa
Kilowatt of power for 1 hour then you consume 1 unit or 1 Kilowatt-Hour (kWH) of electricity. So the reading on the electricity meter represents the
electricity used. Just like the odometer on your vehicle that shows the actual distance travelled by the vehicle, electricity meter shows the am
electricity that is used. So a 100-Watt bulb if kept on for 10 hours will consume:
100 x 10 = 1000 Watt-Hour = 1 Kilowatt-Hour (kWH) = 1 units (on your meter).
Estimating units consumed by any appliance

Now with most of the concepts explained we would like to make it easy for you to calculate how much units does any appliance consume. Most app
have wattage written on them (either on their container box or somewhere on the appliance). Once you have the wattage, next you need to figure o
many hours a day do you use it. After that you can use the formula below: x
Daily Units = (Wattage x Usage hours per day) ÷ 1000

Monthly Units = Units x 30 (or 28,29,31 based on month) x
Please note that this formula may not work always. For appliances like Air Conditioner, Water Heater, Cloth Iron (any heating or cooling device h
thermostat to switch it on or off) and pumps, this will not work.
If required you can use a calculator to estimate the daily/monthly unit consumption if you have the ‘watt’ of the appliance and the likely usage
appliance per day/month.

Hello, I want to know how many units of electricity will be consumed in the following situation.
A common meter for two consumers. Units one bill are 630 for 41 days. Usage by one consumer per day on an
average is
1 cloth iron (daily for about 1 hour)
Ceiling and table fan ( About 17 hrs)
TV for about 20 hrs
60 watt bulb for about 4 hrs
Refrigerator
And rest equipments are laptop, water heater, tubelight, mixer grinder
Consumer 2 uses
LED TV for about 10 hrs
Ceiling fan for about 20 hrs
Table fan for 8 hrs
Induction for 1 to 2 hrs
Oven 5 hrs Max per month
Refrigerator 2 star
40 watt bulb 4 hrs
Which consumer's consumption will be more by what percentage?

You should make a table giving the wattage of each of the appliance and daily usage in an hour, then
calculate daily watt-hour. Multiply it with 41 days and divide it by 1000 to get the expected unit consumed
distirbute in the ratio of each of the consumer connected to common meter. In fact, you should install
energy meter for one of the conusmer instead of doing all this calculation.

But the total units consumed shown on the bill is 623 while the calculated units does not sum up to 623. I
might have missed 124 units somewhere I can’t recall. Is this correct?

The usage time is very subjective and you must have missed that. Now if you can distribute it to both the
consumer in the ratio of 190:308 or otherwise fix another energy meter for second consumer.

150 kW does not mean that the power is drawn continuously the same. It is the energy meter which x
counts kWh. If it is drawn continuously, then it will be 1500 kWh or unit. Is this question relates to some
competitive examination, then it is OK.

Refrigerators do get slightly inefficient over time (depending on how well you have maintained them).
Author Also with time energy efficiency of the newer models available in the market increases. So it is certainly
better to change the refrigerator.

Hi Himanshu,
Author
It will depend on the volume of water you heat and the temperature at which you heat at and the
standing loss of the geyser. Water heaters have a thermostat which stop heating water when the set
temperature reaches. So energy consumption will be less if you heat it to say 40 degrees, and more if
you heat it to 75 degrees. Also if you heat more water, it will take longer to heat and thus consume more
electricity. We have given a formula for calculation on this link: https://www.bijlibachao.com/water-

How you have calculated the permitted load of 48kW? From the information given, it appears to be less
than 5 kW and a single phase is ok. You may check the website of the power supply company and single

Here is how your numbers look like: x
Author Appliance Count WattageUsage Units
AC 1 1500 5 7.5
Fans 2 90 20 3.6 x
LED Tubelights 4 20 2 0.16
Oven 1 2400 0.25 0.18
Iron 1 1500 0.5 0.225
TV+DTH 1 120 12 1.44
Washing Machine1 350 0.5 0.175
Wifi box 1 5 24 0.12
Daily Total 13.4
Monthly Total 402
If you have missed out something then you will have to add them. Typically units = watts x hours/1000.
So if you have 50 watts appliance and you use it for 20 hours, then it is 50 x 20 = 1000 Wh or 1 unit. In
case of Oven and Steam iron, there is a thermostat that switches it off time to time so that it does not
overheat. And that is why I have considered it as "on" only for 30% of the time. ACs and Fans contribute
a lot in general. You should ideally buy efficient AC so that wattage is less. Or you use less of them so
that hours is less. So in watt x hours, you can either reduce watts or hours to reduce electricity
consumption.

Your energy consumption appears to be on a higher side. I suggest you compare the trend of energy
consumption during the last one year and if there is any spurt in any month with any change of
installation of the appliances in your house and its usage. You can also request the power distribution
company that your energy consumption trend has shot up and install a check meter to confirm. Check
the system for seeking the help of check meter on the website power distribution company.

It was summer during last four months during which the usage of the fan, fridge, and dessert cooler if
installed by you etc, goes up. compare your unit consumption with the same months last year. You can
install a check meter at your own cost, but at after the power company energy meter, with the help of a
licensed electrician and compare and if you find a meaningful difference, you can request for change of
energy meter or power company to install check meter for which you have to pay the charges. If they find
a difference, then the bill can be adjusted based on company norms. The power company will not give
any recognition to the check meter installed by you.

From the data given your consumption shall be 4-5 units/day. I will suggest you note the reading at a
specific hour and subtract it from the reading you record after 5 days. If it is more than 25 units, lodge a x
complaint that your energy meter is defective and provide a check energy meter for which you have to
bear the cost of energy meter. Read the domestic tariff of your state about the policy if check meter x

You have to check the load of the computer which generally varies from 60W on no load and 250 W on
full load. The power supply will also have a power consumption of around 50W. So taking that you
working on the computer on full load for 5 hrs/day, you will be consuming 1500Wh/day and
45000wh/month or 45kWh/month i.e. 45 units per month.

My 195 liter 4 star fridge consumes 151 watts per year.
That's 0.42 watts in a day. How much current it is drawing ?? I want to decide the guage of extension cable. It uses
6A plug. Is 1.5sqmm wire sufficient?

The annual electricity consumption of TV is calculated assuming daily usage of 6 hours in ON mode and

The power consumption of the TV depends on the brightness of the scene that shows up on the screen.
Author If the scene is completely bright, the power consumption will be more. If it is less, then it will be less.
Although it would be rated at 93 watt, which means ideally it should consume 0.093 unit per hour of
viewing, when it averages out over the year, it comes to 112 kWh/Year. Now in the annual consumption,
it also includes standby power which would be a watt or two and in 12 hours it would add 0.01 unit in a
day .... but on an average I think it would be about 0.05-0.06 units per hour. So in 4 hours it would
consume about 0.2 units.

Water wastage will depend on the length of the piping and on the temperature of the surroundings.

terrace then you can certainly install a solar water heater. Or if people on all the floors get together, then
you can install a big solar water heater which is good for all the houses.

Hi Sir, I am from hyderabad. I am staying in a house for rent for more than a year. The owner has been charging me
exorbitant power bill, as it is a sub meter, and he never used to show me the copy of power bill. on reading your blog
i found out how less number of units i could get. Is there any proper channel (Police/Court/electricity depy etc) to
recover the excess paid amount. Kindly respond. Thank you.

Hi Akhilesh,

When on rent, most of the terms are driven by what is written on the rent agreement. You can go to
police if you want, but without clear terms in the agreement, there is very less support that you have for
your case.

Heater should be a resistive load so power factor should be above 0.9. For the motor you will have to
look at the manual to find power factor, or else you will have to use a meter to get the VA value to find

It depends on the tariff (electricity price). And the tariff varies from state to state. 1 unit will cost different
Author in UP as compared to Delhi. 200 watts in 10 hrs will be 2 units. And for 30 days it would be 60 units. You

So. What about electronic charger? If I have smartphone charger with input of 220 V and 0.2 A, does it constantly
consume 44 W? So if I charge my smartphone for 2 hour (with no excessive charging, means the plug is pulled out
before it reach 100%), does it consume 44 * 2 = 88 WH?

Every battery has an energy storage capacity. Let's assume your smartphone battery is 3000 mAh which
Author is 3 Ah. And it usually 3.8V battery. So it can store 3 x 3.8 VAh energy = 11.4 VAh ... Assuming power
factor is almost 1 then 11.4 VAh would be 11.4 Wh.
A battery is a like a tank. A tank of 10 lts cannot store more water than 10 lts even if you leave the tap
on. Similarly, a battery of 3000 mAh cannot store more energy. And most smartphones have battery
management system which do not let battery overcharge. So it does not draw more current when the
battery is charged. It may have trickle charging if processes are running in the background that are
draining energy.

Good afternoon Sir,
Am mailing from Kashmir. The coordinates of my house are : Latitude = 34.006010 N Longitude = 74.923800 E
To overcome frequent electricity cuts I want to install solar panels on the roof my double storied- house. The roof is
fully exposed to sun and there is no nearby building or tree which casts shadow on it.
My net consumption of electricity 20 units per day. The area of the roof of my house approximates to 1250 sq. ft.
Kindly inform me about feasibility of installing solar plants along with the total cost of the project.

Hello Mr Bhat,
Author
My guess is that irradiation levels in Kashmir will be lower as compared to the rest of India. So I am not
sure how much electricity would you be able to generate. But I think 3 units per day from a kWp plant
should be possible. A kWp plant should cost you about Rs 90000-1 lakh. You will need 6-7 kWp for the
whole consumption. Each kWp needs 100 sq ft. So it is feasible to install solar in your house.

Author Difficult to tell the exact amount as it depends on the heat load. But at a very high level assuming it is
right sized, it will have cycle time of 75% (running for 45 mins in an hour), then the power consumption
would be 1830*0.75 = 1372.5 Wh or 1.3725 units in an hour. In 6 hours it would consume 8.235 units.
And this is assuming you have rightsized the AC and it is run at 25 degrees. At 24 degrees it may go up
to 9 units.

Solar Panels have to be in right inclination and direction to get the right output. I am not sure where you
live, but in Mumbai it should be inclined at 18 degrees and should face south. On a window it will be at
90 degrees. So I doubt that it will work for you in an apartment.

Hi Naveed,

There are two ways you can do it. The cheaper option is to buy a submeter from the market and get it
fabricated by a local electrician in the manner explained in this post:
http://www.bijlibachao.com/assessment/measuring-electricity-consumption-of-home-appliances-and-
doing-self-audit.html
The other slightly expensive ways is to go for a kill a watt meter that can handle 15 Amp current. More on
kill a watt meter on this post: http://www.bijlibachao.com/electricity-bill/kill-a-watt-meter-p3-power-
analyzer-powermeter.html
You can get kill-a-watt meter on any ecommerce site (Amazon or ebay). But just make sure that it can
handle 15 Amp current (so that it can handle your ACs).

Fridge depending on size should not consume more than 3 units per day (I am not sure about the size

much). And I am sure your fridge would be small, but still assuming on higher side, it should not

7-8 units sounds high but do check your fridge. Sometimes fridges consume a lot of electricity if they are
Author not efficient or are not being used properly. Try switching it off one day and then measure daily
consumption.

Hi Anil,
Author
It depends on the precision and quality of energy meter. If you get a good meter, you can calculate power
of each and every machine running your plant accurately. You can also measure other vital factors like
power factor , kVA, kW, kVAH, kWH using a good digital energy meter.

You just put it between the machine and the power supply. It should get the value for you. If it is a big

It is 438 Watts or 438 kWh? Because 1 kWh = 1 unit. And 100 Watts when run for 10 hours consumes
Author 100x10 = 1000 Wh or 1 kWh or 1 unit of electricity.

If you use it for 24 hours then in 24 hours it would consume 8 x 24 = 192 Wh or 0.192 kWh or 0.192

iDear Sir,
Capacity of 1.5 Sq mm wires is 15 Amps Max. hence power can utilized more compared to 1 sq mm connecting
same load, If i connected same load by using 1 sq mm. power consumes in individual connected energy will less.
x
can I presume that lower the current capacity of wire, higher in savings, electricity.
if not please request to explain, why the users are playing, non standard wires with standard wires. no matter in
individual connections Watts of 1 KW lamps will less because of poor amp capacity compared to standard. x
If I made same connection with single bench circuit, with single source load, week wire consumes more power
compared to standard, even after current flow is lesser than standard wire.
I have made experiment connecting 1 KW- 2 Halogen light in parallel with energy meters,in single circuit, current
shows in wire 5.85 Amp,in one and and 2.84 in 2 nd, because of connections in parallel circuit 230 V remains same,
and also light intensity, but energy shows more in 2nd week wire connected bench circuits.
As current flows in week wire is 2.84^2 X Resistance losses is low in poor quality wires.

I observed the reading on the meter on the day the electricity dept took the reading. It was at 31640 kwh... the next
day night (roughly 36 hours), the meter read 31655 kwh, a whopping 15 units!! We don't have an air conditioner, no
geysers. We did not run the washing machine that day. Just 3 fans with usage not more than 10 hours a day, 3 tube
lights with less than 10 hours usage, a crt tv with 10 hours usage and a refrigerator running all day. I just used the
induction cooker to heat water for around 15 minutes in the morning. How could all this sum up to 15 units for 36
hours? Am i missing something or should I get the meter checked?

Hi Vignesh,
Author
Assuming your fans consume 100 watts (worst case), then in 10 hrs each fan would consume 1 unit. So
3 units per day for the fans (max 6 units assuming 2 days). Each tubelight would consume 50 watts
(again worst case), then in 10 hrs each tubelight would consume 0.5 units, so 3 tubelights in 2 days
would consume 3 units. CRT TV would consume 150 watts, so in 10 hrs it would consume 1.5 units.
Again assuming 2 days it would be 3 units. Power consumption of refrigerator would depend on size,
technology, etc. But assuming 2 units in a day, in 2 days it would consume 4 units. Induction cooker in 15 x
mins would consume 0.5 units in worst case. So it totals up to 6 (fan) + 3 (lights) + 3 (TV) + 4
(Refrigerator) + 0.5 (induction) = 16.5 (approx) for 48 hours. This can have some errors as there are
approximation and these are not real measurements. Your refrigerator may be a bit more inefficient (or x
may be big as I have assumed 250 lts old one).

It is not just about 1 CFL and 1 table fan. A lot also depends on how long you use them. A 23 watts CFL
Author plus a 75 watts fan can make up to 100 watts. And 100 watts for 10 hours can make 1 unit of electricity.
But still 97 looks unreal. Unless you have more things running in the room.

Well if the work can be done by 10 HP machine then by using 20 HP you are underloading the machine.
Author The efficiency of motor is less when it is underutilized. So assuming 10 HP machine was right sized, then
yes 20 HP motor will take more than 10 Amp because it will be much less efficient for doing that job.
