Answer

Amperes (amps) measure current, while units (kWh) measure energy consumption they're different uantities. To convert amps to units, you need voltage and time: Units = (Volts × Amps × Hours) ÷ 1000. For example, at 120 volts:

  • 1 amp for 1 hour = 0.12 units (120V × 1A × 1h ÷ 1000)
  • 1 amp for 10 hours = 1.2 units

At 240 volts:

  • 1 amp for 1 hour = 0.24 units

The unit consumption depends on both the current and the voltage of the system.
