Analyzing Daily Consumption
By using this table, you can estimate the average units consumed by all your appliances in a day. For example, if you use your LED TV for 4 hours, the refrigerator runs continuously, the washing machine is used for 1 hour, the geyser for 30 minutes, the AC for 3 hours, and the fan for 10 hours, you can calculate your total daily consumption as follows:
LED TV: 4 hours x 0.06 kWh = 0.24 kWh
Refrigerator: 24 hours x 0.15 kWh = 3.6 kWh
Washing Machine: 1 hour x 0.50 kWh = 0.50 kWh
Geyser: 0.5 hours x 2.00 kWh = 1.00 kWh
AC (Inverter, 1 Ton): 3 hours x 0.90 kWh = 2.70 kWh
Ceiling Fan (BLDC): 10 hours x 0.03 kWh = 0.30 kWh
Induction Heater: 1 hour x 1.40 kWh = 1.40 kWh
Estimating Your Monthly Bill
Total daily consumption: 0.24 + 3.6 + 0.5 + 1.0 + 2.7 + 0.3 + 1.4 = 9.74 kWh
Multiply the total daily consumption by the number of days in a month to get the monthly consumption. For example, if the month has 30 days:
Monthly consumption: 9.74 kWh/day x 30 days = 292.2 kWh
You can then use the KSEB Bill Calculator to estimate your monthly electricity bill based on this consumption.
Take Control of Your Energy Usage
Understanding your electricity tariff and the power consumption of your household appliances can help you manage your energy usage and expenses more effectively. Use the power consumption table and the KSEB Bill Calculator to stay informed and make smarter energy choices.
