Home Economist Explains
Common Electrical Terms

Energy. It’s big news these
days in newspapers and
magazines and on television.
Concerned Georgians are
demanding more and more
news stories that will tell
them about present and
future energy supplies and
how they will affect jobs and
household budgets.
Some have requested ex
planations of some of the
technical terms commonly
used in news stories concern
ing electric energy. Here are
definitions for some of the
more troublesome terms.
Watt. An electrical unit of
power or the rate of doing
work. Wattage is somewhat
similar to horsepower. One
horsepower equals 746 watts.
Kilowatt. A unit equaling
1.000 watts. The production
capacity or capability of
electric generators and the
power required by electric
appliances or equipment are
measured in kilowatts. One
thousand kilowatts make one
megawatt.
Kilowatt-hour. The basic
unit of electricity used to
measure the amount of
power generated or received
over a period of time. One
kilowatt-hour represents the
energy used by a 100-watt
bulb burning for 10 hours. A
customer’s monthly bill is
expressed in kilowatt-hours.
Demand. The total amount
of electricity required by
customers at a given instant
or averaged over any
designated period of time.
The primary source of
demand is the power con
suming equipment of the
customers. Demand is mea
sured in kilowatts.
Consumption. The total
electrical energy used during
a given period of time.
Consumption is measured in
kilowatt-hours.
Fuel adjustment. A charge
which directly reflects in
creases or decreases in the
cost of fuel used to generate
electricity. The fuel adjust
ment recovers the cost of
generating electricity only
and does not include any
profit for the company.
Fossil fuel generating
plant or generating station.
An electric generating sta
tion at which steam is
produced in a boiler by
burning coal, oil or natural
gas. The steam turns
turbines to generate electri
city.
Hydroelectric generating
plant or generating station. A
station at which falling water
is used to generate electri
city.
Nuclear generating plant
or generating station. An
electric generating station at
which steam is produced in a
•reactor by placing the
nuclear reactor’s uranium
fuel rods in positions where
they will create heat to make
the steam..
Sure Thing
Telephone caller received
this reply when he asked
weatherman to verify that it
would rain before dark:
“Surely. I have a ticket to
the baseball game, I lost my
umbrella, the kids are
having a picnic and the wife
is hosting a lawn party.”

Milky Way
The Milky Way Galaxy is
a collection of 100,000 million
stars, of which the sun is
one, lying in roughly the
same plane, forming a
thicker nucleus from which
flat, spiral arms extend. The
whole galaxy, 100,000 light
years in diameter, rotates
about its centre.

There just have not been
many of those traditional
“April showers” this year so
Georgia farmers and gar

Pasture conditions may

period averages three to five
inches across the state, but
this year we have only had
one good rain.
Where soil moisture is
adequate, the above normal
temperatures should speed
the growth of most crops.
Without irrigation, farmers
can expect slower growth and
reduced early stands.
Planting of cotton, corn,
peanuts, soybeans and warm
season vegetables should
proceed near or ahead of
schedule.
