Enter the number of impulses and the energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh) into the calculator to determine the Imp/Kwh. This calculator helps to understand the efficiency of an electricity meter.
Imp/Kwh Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Imp/Kwh.
Imp/Kwh = Impulses / Energy
Variables:
- Impulses are the number of impulses recorded by the electricity meter.
- Energy is the amount of electricity consumed in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
To calculate Imp/Kwh, divide the number of impulses by the energy consumed in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
What is Imp/Kwh?
Imp/Kwh stands for impulses per kilowatt-hour and is a measure used to calibrate and check the accuracy of electricity meters. It represents the number of impulses that an electricity meter produces for every kilowatt-hour of energy consumed. This value is important for utility companies and consumers to ensure that the meter readings are accurate and that billing is based on the actual energy usage.
How to Calculate Imp/Kwh?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Imp/Kwh.
- First, determine the number of impulses recorded by the electricity meter.
- Next, determine the amount of electricity consumed in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
- Use the formula from above = Imp/Kwh = Impulses / Energy.
- Finally, calculate the Imp/Kwh.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
number of impulses recorded by the electricity meter = 1000 impulses
amount of electricity consumed (Energy) = 250 kWh
