Kilowatt usage
Can someone tell me what is the max possible kilowatt usage having 30 amp service? If i figured correctly, it is 86 kw/ day. That sounds like a lot to me.

IN theory
30 amps * 120 volts * 24 hours / 1000= 86.4 if calculator did not mess up.
the math for the impared
30 amps times 120 volts = 3600 volt-amps, IF the power factor is ONE (1) then that is 3600 watts, Else less. (Space heaters are dang close to, if not 1)
3600 watts times 24 hours is 86400 watt hours
Since we want KILOwatt hours, and KILO means 1,000 that's 86.4 KWH.
