Electrical Knowledge: Did You Know ?

Hi everyone!

Do you know what contributes to your monthly electricity bill?

For those in Semenanjung Malaysia , TNB’s tariff 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

Vaccuum Cleaner	17 sen
