Kilowatts and horse power are both measures of power and they must be multiplied by time to get units of energy.

1 HP is 746 watts, so a 3-HP pump works at 3 x 746 watts, and probably uses about 3 kilowatts of electrical power input. In one hour that is 3 kilowatt-hours, also known as 3 Units.

Obviously in 6 hours it would use 18 kWh etc. etc.

How many kwh does a 400w bulb use in an hour?

Well 1 KWh is "1000 watts per hour". So if you have 400w per hour take400watts per hour divided by 1000 and it shows that you get "0.4KWh".AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'kilowatt per hour', which is why the unit of measurement is a 'kilowatt hour', and NOT a 'kilowatt per hour'!.To determine the number of kilowatt hours of energy consumed by the lamp, multiply its power, expressed in kilowatts, by the length of time it is in use. For your example, the answer is 0.4 kWh.


How much electric used with 4 hours of oven?

Well, if it's a gas oven, zero. :) Most newer ovens use about 10 kilowatts per hour (10kwh), so my guess would be about 40kwh for 4 hours.


Heat pump performance in operationHow many kilowatts of electricity does it take to heat 1000L of water from an initial temperature of 20 degrees C to 60 degrees C.Comparison of electric resistance heating method and heat pump heating method?

The heat pump heating method is much more efficient than the electric resistance heating method. It takes only 1 kilowatt of electricity to heat 1000L of water from an initial temperature of 20 degrees C to 60 degrees C, whereas the electric resistance heating method would take 4 kilowatts of electricity to achieve the same result. This makes the heat pump heating method much more cost-effective in the long run, as well as being more environmentally friendly.

What are engine kilowatts?

The Watt is the fundamental unit for power in the mks unit system of measurements. Kilowatts = 1000 Watts; so engine Kilowatts are the units used to measure the power of an engine. Truth be known, though. Kilowatts are more likely used for electric motors than they are for internal combustion engines. A common unit for engine power is horse-power (HP), but 1 HP = 746 Watts. So Watts can be used to measure engine power as well.


If you left your water running to prevent your pipes from freezing for a few weeks could you have run the well dry?

Yes and you could have burned up the well pump and you could have also frozen your drain line. If you don't have water pressure at this time I would suspect your pump is toast from running to often. Electric motors are only designed to start so many tyimes an hour without burning up.
