https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power

Electric power, like mechanical power, is the rate of doing work, measured in watts, and represented by the letter P. The term wattage is used colloquially to mean “electric power in watts.” The electric power in watts produced by an electric current I consisting of a charge of Q coulombs every t seconds passing through an electric potential (voltage) difference of V is

P = \text{work done per unit time} = \frac {VQ}{t} = VI \,

where

Q is electric charge in coulombs
t is time in seconds
I is electric current in amperes
V is electric potential or voltage in volts

SOME ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AND BRIANAC OUT THERE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT BETTER THAN MYSELF.

HERE’S THE ISSUE !!!

BEEN NOTICING NOW FOR A DAMN LONG WHILE ‘SLICKS’ PLAYING AROUND WITH ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES ALL OVER THE PLACE.

ELECTRICAL STOVES AND ELECTRICAL HEATERS SPECIFICALLY !!! THERMOSTATS TOO, BUT THAT’S ANOTHER STORY.

SO I’M HEATING UP MY SPACE WITH A LITTLE 1500 WATT HEATER SET ON SAY 750 WATTS CAUSE I DON’T WANT TO BLOW THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

BUT, THE THING ISN’T PUTTING OUT THE HEAT AS IT SHOULD FOR THAT SETTING. IT’S NOT EVENLY PUTTING OUT THE HEAT AT THE BEST OF TIMES. BUT THE RUB IS THAT WHEN ABOUT 11PM HITS, THERE’S A LOT MORE HEAT COMING FROM THE THING AT 750 WATTS THAN ALL EVENING LONG.

I NOTICED BACK IN 2008, 2009 TIME PERIOD THAT AT 5AM THE ELECTRICAL GRID IN OTTAWA(882 BASELINE ROAD AND 1409 MAYVIEW AVENUE. APC BACKUP POWER SUPPLIES WOULD KICK IN AT THOSE TIMES TO REGULATE THE VOLTAGE I’M GUESSING) WOULD SHIFT AND I GUESS PUT OUT MORE JUICE TO SUPPLY THE MORNING DEMAND PEAK PERIODS.

WITH THAT IN MIND, IF YOU’RE PAYING PEAK PERIOD KILOWATT RATES, ARE YOU TRULY GETTING THE ELECTRICITY AT THE FULL RATED VALUES THAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR ???

PAYING THROUGH THE NOSE AND GETTING SCREWED WITH ELECTRICITY AND NOT BEING AWARE OF IT.

IT’S YOUR POCKET BOOK AND YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THINGS AREN’T WHAT THEY SEEM WHERE ELECTRICITY IS CONCERNED.

BTW – ON THE SAME ELECTRICAL PLUG AND CIRCUIT, ALL THE OTHER ITEMS PLUGGED IN ALL SEEM TO BE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE ADVERTISED FOR. 60WATT LIGHT ISN’T DIMMING, COMPUTER LAPTOP IS WORKING, LCD MONITOR IS OKAY, LOGITECH SPEAKERS ARE OKAY. SO YOU SEE, WHY IS THE HEATER AT 750 WATTS NOT GIVING ME LITTLE HEAT AND SUDDENLY AT 11PM GIVING ME A WHOLE HECK OF ALOT MORE ???

BRAND NEW HEATER TOO BOUGHT AT CANADIAN TIRE FROM THAT OTHER ENGINEERED OIL HEATER THAT I RETURNED.

AND OH YEAH, IF THE FOOD YOU’RE COOKING ON AN ELECTRICAL STOVE SEEMS TO GET BURNT MORE THAN USUAL, THAT’S BECAUSE SOMEONE IS SCREWING AROUND WITH THE STOVE REMOTELY. FAVOURITE PASTIME OF SLICKS R US INC. LONG STORY ABOUT JAMES BANKHEAD STOVE IN CALGARY. DITTO FOR FRANKLIN DR.
