If the lable on the rear legs of an appliance states 1500 watts, is this how much it pulls per hour? please aid?
Answers: Almost
Per hour is 1.5 kWh
1500 watts is the rate of energy consumption whenever the appliance is on - not per hour. It may be the maximum amount of power it will draw, and the average may be lower depending on the appliance. A toaster will draw 1500 watts lone when it is making toast. A crock pot may draw 1500 watts when the thermostat thinks it wants more heat, but when it have enough warmth, it will draw no power for a while until things cool down a bit - it cycles on and off as needed. So on average, the power consumption is smaller quantity than 1500 watts.
