can any one tell me the formula for calculating the power
and unit consumpetion

Answer Posted / vinothbabu.k

P=(1.732*VOLTAGE*AMPS)/1000,
FOR UNIT CONSUPTION:

KWATTS*HOURS=UNIT-ITS FOR INDUCTIVE LOAD,
FOR RESISTIVE LOAD THE ABOVE IS CORRECT,LAMP HEATER IS
RESISTIVE LOAD,
IT DEPANDS ON TYPE OF LOAD.
AND FOR CAPACITIVE & INDUCTIVE LOAD NO OF WORKING HOURS
WILL BE VARRY,FOR EXAMPLE TAKE FRIDGE WAS WORKING FOR 2
HOUR IT TAKE 750W MEANS WE SHOULD NOT
CALCULATE .750*2=1.5KWHR/UNIT,FRIDGE IS A CAPACITIVE LOAD
IT WILL ON OPPROXIMATELY 35 MIN FOR EVERY PER HOUR SO WE
SHOULT TAKE FOR 2 HRS IT WILL ON 1.05HRS FOR 2 HRS,
SO 750*1.05=0.787 UNIT

Is This Answer Correct ?    3 Yes 0 No

We have a couple of oil tanks at our plant. One of them does not have a lightning arrester installed. My question is it necessary to install an arrestor on every tank or will this particular one be covered by the arrestor installed on the ajdacent tank, Since all the tanks are close to each other. Basically, I want to know that if these arrestors or protection works in a parituclar area of effect or influence. Thanks
