Here in the UK and I assume US as well, a geyser is a hot spring which made it pretty obvious to me you were talking about a shower.
You don't call them geysers, shucks (oops, another south african term)
Geyser - a hot water heater.
Named after the village in Iceland where there are "geysers"

ditto very slow.thanks jimb
damn, that site takes forever to load though.
Yip, you're right.
I believe the dutch language forms the basis for my native language - afrikaans, but I do not even remember what a geyser (engligh) is called in afrikaans, we've sort of adopted the english term, same as garage (in afrikaans - motorhuis), but very few afrikaans people still use that.
the english also borrowed some words from afrikaans, such as lekker, normaly described when something tastes good, then you would say something like damn this steak is lekker. It has become a bit of a slang term here, e.g. lekker dude, see you tomorrow. Nothing to do with food, see.
etc. etc. etc.
Is there a Formula for calculating household electrical items?
I was thinking of buying a generator but I need to know how much electricity all the appliances use so that I can get the right generator for the job.
I have all the manuals for each appliance which give how much power each appliance uses.
I do not know how much power a combie boiler uses if anybody knows that information can you please share that information with me.
I need some info about servo motor.can you help me
your best bet and actualy your only choice is to look at your bills and find the total power usage for the last months.
Nice try, but not even close. You cannot calculate the size of the generator from the information on the bill.your best bet and actualy your only choice is to look at your bills and find the total power usage for the last months.
Nice try, but not even close. You cannot calculate the size of the generator from the information on the bill.
The bill gives the total kWh, you can calculate the average, and you still don't know anything about the peak demand. If your average 24/7 is 500W, your peak could very well be 5kW (for example a 2kW electric stove plus 3kW water heater that run 5% of the time.)
The only way to know is to survey the loads that will be on the generator. If you can't find the ratings of some items, you can turn them on and watch the meter. Or buy a "kill-a-watt" (special meter) for about $20.
