How to Calculate Water Pump Electricity Consumption
Calculating the electricity consumption of a water pump is straightforward when you know the power rating and usage duration.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Step 1: Convert Power to kW
If pump power = 1500 W
Then: 1500 ÷ 1000 = 1.5 kW
Step 2: Multiply by Usage Time
Daily usage = 4 hours
Energy consumption = 1.5 × 4 = 6 kWh
Step 3: Calculate Monthly Usage
6 kWh × 30 days = 180 kWh
Step 4: Calculate Cost
Electricity rate = $0.12 per kWh
Cost = 180 × 0.12 = $21.60
Final Result: The pump consumes 180 kWh per month and costs $21.60.
Pro Tip: Use energy-efficient pumps to reduce long-term electricity costs.
