I'm not sure what you think is wrong, what you say is that the Kw rating is what's used per hour, which some people might not realise so I spelt it out. Maybe we're both plastered, I know I am! :D

Well I only had a couple of glasses so far but please don't make me drag this out. I am planning to get as plastered as you. :drunk

 

Something electrical is rated at say 2kw....not 2 kw per hour.....if you use it for 1,000.000 hours it is still using 2 kw...if you use it for 0.5 seconds, it is still 2kw. A KW is a measurement of power not energy.

 

Your electric bill is based on the average power multiplied by the time (a month actually)...they could use kilowatt-months, kilowatt-days...I am trying to say it is kilowatts multiplied by time (or integrated over time), not per which means divided by time.

 

Oh sod it, I am going to have a dump and another beer, I am too analy retentive! My apologies. :D :gulp
