Why is electricity then measured in kW/h?
In my understanding, power (instantaneous) is measured in W, but consumption needs to be integrated over time, thus the per hour part.
- z0k 9y agoIt's not kW/h, it's kWh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilowatt_hour https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilowatt_hour
- TeMPOraL 9y agoWhich is kW * h, i.e. kilowatt times hours, like man-hours are number of men multiplied by time.
