What is the connected electricity load required for a 2 bedroom house with one A

[Dennisbodden]

I have applied for a 3kw electricity load. Need to know if this is enough to run refridgerator, microwave, music system, AC apart from other standard electrical fittings.
Please share.

You do not supply enough information to make sense such that an informative reply may be given.

Where are you and what does "applied for a 3Kw load" actually mean?
What size microwave?
 AC (presumably you mean refrigerated air conditioner) and again what size?
What is supplying this 3Kw, the grid Re?

please tell us more

If you are proposing a Re system then read here....http://www.rpc.com.au/products/services/examples.html input your required load and all will be revealed.

There is a meter called a Kill-a-Watt that plugs into your electrical appliances  that will show watts, amps, volts, and kilowatt/hr. I think I bougth mine for around $20 It let you know how much power you are using. It only works on 120 V so it may not work on the A/C

What happened to the original poster?

There are a lot of different factors.
If you are "grid attached", you can build your system as big as your are comfortable with.  And, you only need to be concerned with average power usage.

If you are "off grid", then you need to be concerned with peak power usage (leveled out some by batteries).  However, if your power source is seasonal, it can be a problem, such as solar in the winter.

Another concern of "off grid" is how you are dealing with things like electric vs gas stoves.

Start with getting low power light bulbs.  make sure you turn off lights when you're not using them.  Shut off appliances when not in use.  And monitor your actual usage for a few months.

thats like asking how much will a dog eat?

how big a dog?
what breed of dog?
is he mature?
is he still growing?
is he a working dog?
is the environment very cold, very hot?

etc etc.

some folks could comfortably raise a dozen kids with no electricity, while others cannot support a single lifestyle
with less than a 200amp service to their house. i presume you are somewhere between the extremes, but exactly
where, we can't know for sure without much more info

What happened to the original poster?

I suspect he just joined to pimp that site.

By removing the link we thwarted his attempt.

Probably never hear from him again.

A common problem users seldom see for what it is.

Just FYI

Yeah, that original question was kinda silly, don't think it was serious at all.

[fabricator]

I saw that EXACT same post on another board recently (cant recall which one) there he was immediately tossed, he's prolly running out of re boards to spam.

Just an FYI for the mods:

It can be irritating to read the thread (as a virgin) and then get lost because the entire 'story' isn't there... can't you leave some trace to the original post (with link) somewhere so those of us that are curious can check out WTF someone was talking about?

Isn't the first time I've thought this... just thought I'd mention it, even though I get the reasons for nuking spam...

Leaving the link ain't gonna happen. Period.

It rewards the spammer.

We prefer to render the spam useless.

It is an odd bit of how the interweb thing works. Any hits improve the "status" of the linked site.

As a matter of policy we remove the link. If it had not gotten posts by users it would have disappeared entirely.  We don't like removing legit comments so we just clip out the offending link.

The removed links usually have nothing relevant anyway...
Often things like a link to the posters internet store.

OR worse

As I recall, it was in the "worse" category.

I'm going to lock this thread now, but it would be better deleted IMHO.  I'll let an adult decide.  SPAMmers just waste so much valuable brainpower for such selfish shallow ends.

I refuse to grow up although I are "supposedly" an adult.

I see a locked icon but my super powers apparently allow me to bypass the lock and post this last bit.

Good call locking it!
