Englander PDV/55-SHP power consumption

[Pete Zahria]

Someone suggested I put this in a thread by itself.
It is from another older thread that perhaps may not
have been viewed by those interested in this information.

**************************************************************
Yesterday was a good day to clean the stove, so out of curiosity,
I decided to monitor the power consumption
of the stove when I restarted it... in case others with similar stoves were
curious as to how much electricity they used..
Pleasantly, it actually drew considerably less than I thought...

During Start Up, 336w
~7 minutes in, 334w
~16 minutes in, stove went into run mode
settings:
3 bottom buttons 3-3-1 mode C
9-9, 140w-162w $.61/day (based on $.17/kwh, running 24hours)
5-5, 130w-149w $.57/day
1-6, 110w-124w $.48/day
1-4, 100w-117w $.44/day

Gibes with my Piazzetta as well. When igniter is on, just under 300 watts. Combustion fan 20 watts. Augur 25 watts. Room fan variable, but two highest settings are 60 and 80 watts. So, basically, the first 10 minutes when the stove is starting, it uses about 320 to 345 watts, as the igniter, comb fan and augur run. Afterward, when the igniter is no longer needed, and the stove reaches 175 degrees, the room blower comes on, and the running wattage varies from 100 to 125 watts, depending upon when the augur motor is on.
