off various bits to see what showed up...
Interesting. So, if I am reading these figures correctly, that is a
total draw of 6.07 amps. What I don't know, is how to convert that to
KWph. In other words, if you used exactly 6.07 amps for one hour, how
many units of electricity would that be?
P (watts) =VI
E (Energy kWh) = Pt/1000 (P=power in watts, t=time in hours)
So measure your voltage (RMS) or assume 235V (as a happy medium between
240 and 230).
Sp 6.07 for one hour =
P = 6.07*235/1000
P = 1.43kWh rounded
