Re: Power Factor is the ratio of Watts to VA.

Hi Tony. That helps me a lot in a couple areas. I have a 'consumer' AC wattmeter that also displays power factor and I wasn't sure if the meter took this into account or not. (I later read that the meter displays rms watts).

I was also unclear on the specs often found on Uniterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) with VA ratings. I now know how to deal with that in sizing a UPS. Thanks!
