(5) Appliances without any indication as to power consumption
Some appliances have no indication as to power consumption; but instead the work load (output) is indicated. In such a case, power consumption is to be worked out according to the numerical formula mentioned below.
(Output of electrical appliance)
(Efficiency)
Efficiencies of some electrical appliances are as follows :
0.6 to 0.75 | The smaller the motor, the | ) | |
Fluorescent lamp | 0.7 to 0.8 | ( lower the efficiency. |
Example 1: A 40W fluorescent lamp means that its luminous output is 40W. Its efficiency is 0.7 and accordingly, power consumption will be 40 ÷ 0.7= 57W. As explained in Item (2), multiply this power consumption value of 57 W by 1.2 to 2 and you will get the figure of the neces- sary capacity of a generator. In other words, a generator with a rated output of 1000W capacity can light nine to fourteen 40 W fluorescent lamps.
Example 2 : Generally speaking, a 400 W motor means that its work load is 400 W. Efficiency of this motor is 0.7 and power consumption will be 400÷0.7= 570 W. When this motor is used for a
