WHY WE ARE EXPRESSING KW-HR AS UNIT OF ELECTRICITY.........?WE CAN EXPRESS IN ANOTHER UNIT.....?..

Answer / rishit

Sorry to say but KW-HR is not a unit of electricity
it is the unit by which electricity department charges our
bill the reason after that is if we put a load of 1 kw on
meter then it takes one hour to change its one reading after
one hour
remember i am asking to put only load of one KW not more
than that and after one hour only 1 KW reading will increase
that is why it is KW per Hour

Answer / rajesh

If you want to represent bulk power, you can use a bigger
unit like Megawatt hour or Gegawatt hour. (1 MWH = 1000
KWH; 1 GWH = 1000MWH).

Answer / anil bhatia

the energy meter which measure unit is desine to calculate
kwh . ie 1000 X wattes x Hrs (time consumed or used the
power).
where watts is volts X current .
voltage= is applied/given volts,
current=Amper taken by load

Answer / thuranga

Rishit's answer is also correct,
and also the another one is load is not constant for a
minute in our normal life i.e if we measure power at
12noon,that load will not be same at 12:30 pm.

So on an average the load is calculated on hourly basis for
the purpose of finding the efficiency for all day.,and also
the power consumed domestically.

I have a question, I visit 01 site and face a problem, there is 2.5 ton Air Con working, when air con compressor is running at that time rectifier voltages are increasing upto 290-295 v and rectifier is giving main high alarm (rectifier is APC single phase), before starting compressor rectifier voltages was 230v. when air con is going off rectifier voltages are decreasing smoothly at its actual voltages 230v. Load on Genset phases is this: Red-13.5 amp AC (Air Con load), Yellow-1.7 amp AC (BTS lights etc.) and Blew-4 amp AC (telecom system load), Genset phase to phase and neutral to phase voltages are also ok. These are 10 sites having same system and same rectifier APC brand at every site 02 genset are working but the problem is same at all these 10 sites. What will be the reason behind???
