In Reply to: Power Factor is the ratio of Watts to VA. posted by Tony Montana on September 30, 2004 at 17:04:38:
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!
