power consumption Definition. The rate at which power is consumed by a device or unit (such as a building), usually expressed in kilowatt-hours, Btu/hour, or horsepower-hours.
The main way electricity consumption is measured is with the unit âwatt-hourâ. A watt (W) is a measure of electrical power. Light bulbs are marked with a watt rating, such as 40 W, and so are appliances like air-blow heaters (around 1,000 W).In fact, most appliances have a compliance badge that will give you an indication of the amount of electrical power it needs to work.f we multiply the watt (the amount of electrical power) by the period of time it is used, we arrive at the amount of electricity consumed. The standard measure of electricity consumption is the amount of watts used over one hour, which is how we get the watt-hour (Wh).
