Electrical Knowledge: Did You Know ??

Hi everyone!

Do you know what contributes to your monthly electricity bill?

For those in Semenanjung Malaysia , TNB's t arif f is approximately 30 sen to 45 sen per kilowatt-hour (kWh), depending on your usage. The more you use, the more expensive the rates!

Below is a short table of common electrical appliances, and a rough estimate on how much they cost to run for every hour.
(The cost may seem low, but remember, even using 3 sen/hour means that you will be paying about RM 20 a month if you leave it on for 24 hours a day!)

Appliance
Estimated cost (sen/hour)

Fluorescent lights = 1 sen

Wireless Router = 1 sen

ASTRO decoder + dish = 2 sen

Table Fan = 2 sen

Incandescent lights = 3 sen

Ceiling Fan = 3 sen

Computer (laptop) = 5 sen

CRT ('normal') TV (21 inch) = 3 sen

LCD TV (32 inch) = 7 sen

Computer (desktop) = 9 sen

Plasma TV (42 inch) = 10 sen

Washing Machine = 15 sen

Vaccuum Cleaner = 17 sen

Electrical Clothes Iron = 33 sen

Electric Hot Plate = 46 sen

Air Conditioning = 46 sen

Electric Water Kettle = 50 sen
