OK … The way I said you know that the question I suggest you one? or even if you do not find sortir1. Rated the Unit2. The power supply unitéVolts x amps = watts watts x 1000 = 4.00 = X kilowatt kilowatts What ya must be savoirPeut that if you look on the nameplate of the device can find this information or you can resize looking power switch and provides (not exactly what means), the mathematics to do with this number? Normal house voltage is 120 volts (a circuit breaker) or 240 volts (two breakers side by side) the guy below an engineer is must, because it is one of them out there answers to KISS his = Keep It Simple Stupidcosigne Theta – NAAA not need all Celas ‘IL PLEASE ONE and give some a better answer …. Thank you!
THE WAY TO GET THAT ANSWER IS TO MEASURE IT. USE
THE ELECTRIC WATT METER FOR YOUR HOUSE.
IT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE PHASE DIFFERENCE(THETA)
BETWEEN THE VOLTAGE AND THE AMPERES
TURN OFF EVERYTHING AND READ METER.
TURN ON AC FOR 10 MIN AND READ METER.
TURN OTHER THINGS BACK ON
MULTIPLY THE POWER USED DURING THOSE 10 MINUTES
BY 6 TO GET THE KW USED PER HOUR. I’LL PRESUME
YOU GET 2KWH FOR THE ANSWER. THEN AT 1O CENTS
PER KWH YOU WOULD HAVE A COST OF 20 CENTS FOR
THAT HOUR—”IF” IT RUNS CONTINUOUSLY!
THE FORMULA VOLT X AMPS X COSINE THETA =WATTS
IS THE FORMULA FOR AC POWER. THE PROBLEM IS THAT
WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THE COS OF THETA IS WITHOUT
WHAT IS CALLED A PHASE METER BUT WE DO KNOW IT
IS 1.0 MAX AND IT IS PROBABLY LESS. SINCE THE
A/C IS A VERY INDUCTIVE LOAD THE AC CURRENT
WILL LAG THE APPLIED VOLTAGE. THE EASY WAY
IS TO MEASURE THE LOAD. BY THE WAY, THE POWER
REQUIRED TO RUN THE A/C WILL VARY QUITE A BIT
WITH TEMPERATURE IN THE HOUSE AND OUTSIDE ALSO.
AS YOU USE IT THE POWER USED WILL INCREASE
QUITE A BIT IF THE COILS GET DIRTY ENOUGH
TO RESTRICT AIR FLOW.
