Nameplate Electrical Energy Consumption Comparison between the Middleby PS555 and the XLT 3255-TS
|
XLT 3255-TS |
Middleby PS555 |
|
Voltage: 120 VAC |
Voltage: 208-240 VAC |
|
Amperage: 6.0 |
Amperage: 12.0 |
|
Volts x Amps = Watts |
|
|
120 x 6.0 = 720 |
208 x 12.0 = 2496 |
|
If a restaurant is open 12 hours per day for 360 days; that is 4,320 hours per year.
|
|
Watt hours / year
720 x 4320 / 1000 = 3,110.4 KWh/year* |
Watt hours / year
2496 x 4320 / 1000 = 10,782.7.6 KWh/year* |
|
$ / year electricity consumption = $258.16* |
$ / year electricity consumption = $894.97* |
|
* The US national average cost for electricity is 8.3 cents per kilowatt-hour (KWh). A Watt is a measure of electrical power and equals volts times amps. A kilowatt-hour (1000 Watt-hours) is the billable energy used. For example, if you used ten, 100-watt light bulbs for 1 hour, you used 1000 watts times 1 hour or 1 KWh. |
The rated amount of electricity that the XLT 3255-TS uses is only about 30% of the rated amount the Middleby PS555 uses. Or, stated another way, the XLT 3255-TS oven is about 350% more efficient electrically. As electricity rates continue to increase, it is conceivable that the annual savings could pay for your XLT oven over its useful lifespan.
