Power Consumption Formula:
| From: | To: |
Induction cooker power consumption refers to the amount of electrical energy used by an induction cooktop during operation. It's measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) and directly affects your electricity bill in the Philippines.
The calculator uses the power consumption formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates how much electrical energy your induction cooker consumes based on its power rating and how long you use it.
Details: Calculating power consumption helps Filipino households estimate electricity costs, manage energy usage, and make informed decisions about appliance usage to save on monthly bills.
Tips: Enter the power rating of your induction cooker (found on the appliance label or manual) in Watts, and the usage time in hours. All values must be valid (power > 0, time > 0).
Q1: How much electricity does an induction cooker use in the Philippines?
A: Typical induction cookers use 1200-1800W. At PHP 9-12 per kWh, 1 hour of use costs approximately PHP 10-20.
Q2: Is induction cooking cheaper than LPG in the Philippines?
A: It depends on usage patterns and local electricity vs LPG prices. Induction is often more efficient but electricity tends to be more expensive per unit of energy.
Q3: How can I reduce my induction cooker's power consumption?
A: Use appropriate pot sizes, keep cookware centered on the cooking zone, use residual heat, and cook with lids on.
Q4: Do induction cookers use electricity when turned off?
A: Modern induction cookers have minimal standby power consumption (usually less than 1W) when not in use.
Q5: How accurate is this calculator for Philippine electricity rates?
A: The calculator provides energy consumption in kWh. Multiply this by your Meralco rate (typically PHP 9-12/kWh) to estimate cost.
