A work or energy unit equivalent to the energy produced or consumed by one kilowatt of power for one hour.
It is a unit of apparent power: It is the total amount of power consumed by an electrical device.
A kW (kilowatt) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the electrical power of energy supported by a property's installation.
Single-phase installations: Use two electrical wires to carry electricity, called conductors, formed by a single alternating current or phase and therefore all voltage varies in the same way.
An electrical energy production, distribution and consumption system formed by three alternating currents with the same frequency and amplitude, with a 120° electrical phase difference between them, arranged in a given order. Each of the currents that makes up the system is designated by the name of the phase (A, B, C).
The key difference is that an inverter air conditioner can regulate the compressor motor speed. Once the room is cool, inverter air conditioners reduce the motor speed to save energy and the refrigerant used to cool the air.
By comparison, non-inverter air conditioners run at full speed. The motor runs at full speed but shuts off once the room temperature drops to the desired level. This on/off process is repeated, and it can make unnecessary noise and consume more energy.
The maximum installed capacity for residential customers must be lower or equivalent to 25 Kilowatts (Kw). Individuals or legal entities may connect to the Distribution Company’s networks.
A service provided by the distributor to clients with their own generation systems that use renewable energy sources, interconnected to its distribution networks according to the provisions of Article 20 of Law 57-07.
