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.
A watt is a unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer or usage. A kilowatt is equal to 1,000 watts. A kilowatt hour is the amount of electricity used. To calculate the amount an appliance uses in kilowatt hours, take its wattage, multiply it by the number of hours you use it, and divide by 1,000.If you take a 100-watt light bulb and use it for 540 hours, the light bulb will use 54 kWh of electricity.f you look at your power bill, you will see your monthly kilowatt hour usage. This is how much electricity you used for that month and were charged for. Normally your power company will bill you based on a rate per kWh. Sometimes this rate varies depending on the time of day or your usage.
