Electrical Knowledge

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 (cent/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 Vacuum Cleaner 17 sen Electrical Clothes Iron 33 sen Electric Hot Plate 46 sen Air Conditioning 46 sen Electric Water Kettle 50 sen     “SAFE ENERGY, SAFE BUDGET”
