Hey guys, just wanna find out some info in here. I called tnb earlier in regards to plasma tv electricity as its stated behind the tv 350w. They said 350w is equal to 3.5kwh (kilowatt-hour). So according to their calculation, 3.5kwh per minute the cost is $0.76cents and thats what it says in tnb website calculator also. So the tv consumes 76cents per minute?

350w = 0.35kw

3 decimal point

cannot beat tnb calculation, u bring to court oso cannot win lar

buy crt 50" better

Nice logic u have there. CRT consume more power than LCD

This.

Who did you speak to on the phone? Lol

So guys, what could be the max amount for the tv itself for a month? Lets says max 8 hours usage a day? Can anyone calculate for me? Me a bit poor in calculation

TNB careline staff on the billing category

dafug, where got count per minute?
kwh is kilo watt per hour

Lol, 350W is 350 J/s

Convert to kW is 0.35 kW. So in 1 hour, your tv consumes 0.35 kWh

1 day use 8 hours = 2.8 kWh.

21.8 sen / kWh

so 1 day, your tv consume 61 sen

Remember, that is your tv maximum rated draw power. It does not necessary draw full 350W all the time.

Thanks bro

wow...impressive which uni u came from??

My bill every month is around 300 to 400. 1 plasma tv, 1 led tv (only watch at night after come back from work), 1 air cond running 5 hours max every night, 1 fridge, 1 washing machine and normal lights. TNB people come and check meter, say everything is fine. Dafuq? Something is wrong somewhere.

I want to ask as the question might related to the topic,

Is it legal for TNB to assume my usage based on previous bills for months?

And after that, they put all the extra charges from those months into one bills.

This makes my bill shoot up really high due to different rate for high usage.

*They dont even come to my house to get the reading in those months
