Brilio.net - It is common knowledge that several electronic devices in the house waste electricity, including the refrigerator . This was also explained by YouTube account user Abang electronic. The YouTube channel owner explained that you can check the refrigerator's electrical load with a tool called a socket meter.
The owner of the YouTube account Abang electronic also explained that a refrigerator that has just been connected to electricity usually requires quite a high wattage, namely around 424 watts. However, after the refrigerator has been turned on for 5 minutes, the electrical load will decrease and stabilize at 120 watts.

After investigating, if the refrigerator is continuously turned on for 24 hours or one full day a month, the electricity costs that must be paid could be up to IDR 116,000. These costs will definitely increase if you also use other electronic devices.

Well, it turns out there is another electronic device that also risks making electricity use in your house wasteful, namely the rice cooker or magic com. Another YouTube account user, ElektroQu shows how to check the electricity load on a rice cooker with a socket meter.
The results show that if the rice cooker or magic com is used for 24 hours, the electricity required is around 1,451 KWh. So, if the electricity in your house uses a 900 VA meter, the electricity you have to pay per day is around IDR 1,886. Meanwhile, for a 1300 VA meter, the cost is around IDR 2,128 per day.
"Is this cost expensive? Of course, because if we calculate the cost from 1 day to one month or multiply it by 30 days, then the results as you see now are expensive, right?" explained the owner of the YouTube account ElektroQu, quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (8/8).

So, even though the electricity required to turn on a rice cooker or magic com is quite large, you don't need to worry yet, because there are a number of ways to save on bills that you can practice at home. As shared by YouTube account owner Harun Service.
To practice this method, you need a special electricity-saving device that is sold in electronics or e-commerce stores. Make sure you use a 25 micro 450 volt electricity saving device. This tool will later be connected to a cable at the socket which will be used to supply electricity to the rice cooker or magic com.

Apart from that, to save on electricity bills, you can also practice this by cooking. So, instead of cooking rice directly in a rice cooker or magic com, you can boil the rice on the stove first until the water boils. After boiling, then continue the process of cooking rice with a rice cooker or magic com.
"If you use magic com from cold to boiling it takes 20 minutes. So this way we only need 7 to 13 minutes, so we save time and electricity," explained YouTube account user Fabian Channel.
