So there is 4 amps in 1 kwh??
You have to be a bit careful as you are mixing units.
As malcolm says an appliance with a power rating of 1kW will draw a current of just over 4 amps if it is operating at a potential of 230V, but you have said 1 kWh! A kilowatt hour is an amount of energy - A current of 4.35A at 230V switched on for an hour will use 1 kWh of energy.
TBH the two things, amps and kWh are not directly comparable, it's a bit like asking how many miles are in 30 miles per hour
Point taken!!!!!!

Well I got a power consumption device for crimbo, cost, power, carbon produced etc, and since 5:30 yesterday morning I've used £2.35!
My costs are 12.04p per unit & a standing charge of 13.44p per day.

Hi there sorry for being a bit stupid but if i am running a dehumidifier at 570 watts for an hour do you no how much that will cost me for the hour on NIE thanks davy
kWh is a unit of energy -you pay per unit of energy (units of energy vary in price depending on your provider)
570watts = 0.57kW
kWh = kW x hours, so 0.57kW x 1h = 0.57 kWh or units
If you are paying say14p per unit then your dehumidifier is costing you just over 7p per hour.
Hope that helps
