👉 The term "kilo-watt" is used in electrical engineering to describe a power factor of 1/20 or 10% of the rated voltage. It can be defined as the amount of energy that passes through an appliance when it draws one watt of current. For example, if your home has a 10-kilowatt (kW) electrical system, then it means that in a single hour, the system generates approximately 10 kilowatts of power
