This may be real simple but how do you figure Kilowatts per hour? Theoretically if you have a load of 25KW, how would I figure kilowatts per hour with that number? Single phase service 120/240V.

That is what I was thinking but just needed some backing. :grin: Thanks.Dennis Alwon said:If your load is 25 kw that means for every hour you would use 25kw.
Oh yeah, I've seen that before. Thanks and I'd like to buy Mr. Bluejay a hair cut.Dennis Alwon said:
Thats a good link. I like the residential chart. Do you know of a commercial chart? Better yet Dennis, do you know the commercial rate (cents per kWh) in North Carolina, since that is the state in question of this project?Dennis Alwon said:

You don't. Ever. That particular combination of words has no practical meaning to our industry. It is however a commonly mis-used set of words.chevyx92 said:. . . how do you figure Kilowatts per hour?
POCO's are generally secretive about this. The link Dennis posted alluded to this but commercial customers are charged based on peak demand. I'm not sure of the exact formula in which this is billed but in laymens terms if your demand at peak intervals is say 50 KW you are billed at the 50KW rate (say $0.50/KW hour). If, at any point during peak usage times, you require 60 KW then you are billed at the 60 KW rate (say $0.60/KW hour) for the entire month or whatever interval the POCO decides. From my experience you can place as many phone calls as you wish to your local POCO but no one at the POCO will tell you what you want to know. If you end up being more successful at getting this info than I was would you please post your findings here ? Thanks.chevyx92 said:Do you know of a commercial chart?
