    Trying to find cost by watts
    hi names gavin silly question maybe but I'm trying to find the cost of my office air conditioner I have been doing it for work experience and have to find out how much everything is costing in the office by using the sum kwh x time on a day x current kwh price and I'm using energy plugs which tell me exactly how much each item is using but the air conditioner doesn't plug in

    phase ~/n
    volts 220/230
    hz 60/50
    ip code ip 20
    input (in) 0.07 kw

    these are the details on the unit I have been using the above input amount of watts but my amount just seems to cheap to be right help would be appreciated thanks

    Please check the tag on the unit...
    0.07 kW equals 70 watts... this doesn't look reasonable.
    Also, is this a window unit? Is it the condensing unit outside?
    Split system?
    If this was a split system, that is a condensing unit outside and a cassette inside, then the large load is outside and usually the exterior unit supplies the interior.

    It is a big enough unit for keeping a medical warehouse at certain temperatures it does have a unit on the roof the information I wrote was off the 1 in the warehouse it is stored in the ceiling it weighs 27 kgs I appreciate you writing to me but I'm still lost are you saying I would have to check the other part that's on the roof

    Yes, check the roof mounted unit for it's rating...
    (please use punctuation, it's otherwise difficult to understand)

    OK thanks for the info. Apologies about the typing. Not sure I can get up on the roof but thanks for taking the time to respond.
