The Power Consumption calculator computes power consumed over a period of time based on base power unit and time period and the duration of consumption .

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (PU) Power Unit
• (TU) Time Unit
• (CD) Consumption Duration

Power Consumption (PwR): The power is returned in kilowatts.  However, these can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The Power Consumption formula is a simple rate formula as follows:

PwR = (PU / TU) * CD

where:

• PwR = Power consumed over the period at the specified rate
• PU = Power per Unit Time
• TU = Unit of Time
• CD = Consumption Duration.

NOTES

The typical SI units typically employed in this equation are:

`"Power(Watts)" = "Potential (Volts)" * "Current-I( Amperes)"`
