POWER CONSUMPTION OF DOMESTIC APPLIANCES AND AUDIO VIDEO EQUIPMENT
This table provides power consumption figures that I have measured for some domestic appliances . Data has been recorded using a Yokogawa WT210 precision power meter.
Explanation of the data columns of the table
- Watts operating: True power in normal use. This is what the domestic user pays for. For appliances that have varying power consumption, the measurement was made by integrating over an appropriate period. A TV will be integrated over a few minutes, but the fridge was integrated over 4 days. The average wattage over the period is in the table. Modern TV's have differing power needs for their different settings. Most of the TV's in this table are shown at the 'default' or 'standard' setting. For an example of a TV at three different settings see the 46" Sony data.
- VA operating: This value is what your country must generate and distribute for the appliance while it is operating.
- Watts in standby: The true power in standby mode. I have not shown VA in standby which in fact would be of interest to national supply and distribution planners. If you want my measurement for an appliance VA in standby, just email.
- Hours operating per day: My estimate of how many hours each appliance is used each day. Obviously, your mileage could vary, but I am sure you are capable of scaling the costs in the next column accordingly. For appliances such as clothes dryers, heaters and washing machines I have estimated a weekly or monthly useage and calculated an average daily period.
- Annual Cost: The cost to run each appliance for a year based on the number of hours in the previous column and a price of (NZ)21c per kilowatt-hour which is the current exorbitant rate we pay in my locality. I am sure you are able to proportion this amount to your own currency. A good currency converter is located at OANDA.
