Methodology & Electrical Power Disclosure:
- Electric kettle power consumption depends mainly on electrical input power (W) and operating duration per boil.
- Kettles operate for discrete short periods (3 to 6 minutes); rated wattage is NOT a continuous 24-hour power consumption figure.
- Calculated energy and cost figures preserve double precision internally while rounding presentation values.
How Electric Kettle Power Consumption is Calculated
Electric kettle electricity consumption depends mainly on electrical input power (W) and operating duration per boil. Kettles run for discrete short periods (3 to 6 minutes per boil); rated wattage is NOT a continuous 24-hour power consumption figure.
Energy per Boil (kWh) = (Rated Power W × Minutes per Boil) ÷ 60,000
Daily Energy (kWh) = Energy per Boil kWh × Boils per Day
Monthly Units (kWh) = Daily Energy kWh × Days per Month (30)
Worked Example (Prestige 1,500W): 5 mins/boil = 0.125 kWh/boiling cycle (₹0.94/boil) $\rightarrow$ 4 boils/day = 15.0 Units/month (₹112.50/month @ ₹7.50/unit)
