Common power ratings

[Gab250]

I'm after a chart that shows how many watts common appliances like TV's and Microwaves and stuff use so I can work some stuff out.

It will be written on the appliances specification tag.

Simple ....

Try searching the internet using terms such as "electrical appliance power consumption chart".

For Australian consumers, if your appliance is subject to the E3 (Equipment Energy Efficiency) program you can find all the information you need .
Bear in mind all testing is done per AS/NZS requirements and as they say, your mileage may vary. LCD TVs today consume very little energy and must utilise active PFC is consumption exceeds 90 W.
MWOs are current hungry but used in an intermittent manner and still not subject to MEPS. Air conditioners are the single biggest power hungry device in any household, even with inverter technology and active PFC.
The latest trend towards refrigerators the size of a small planet only costs you in the defrost cycle. Inverter compressors are remarkably efficient, yet defrost is done by good old fashioned resistance heaters.
Product sold in Australia must disclose power consumption on the compliance label. Domestic consumers are only charged for kWh and as such power factor is not a big issue, apart from polluting the general mains supply with harmonic distortion.
