    Formula

    kWh per day = Connected kW × Load factor × Hours per day kWh per month = kWh per day × Working days kWh per CBM = kWh per month ÷ CBM per month; Cost = kWh × Tariff

    Worked example

    Calculated with the default values shown in the form.

      Technical notes

      • Take the load factor from a meter reading or the average of running current to rated current.
      • Track kWh per CBM monthly; a rising trend usually points to idle running, dryer losses or compressed-air leaks.
