Re: power factor correction is Fact .. Not Fiction You do know that
W(Watt)=V(volt)*A(Amps)
so substitute W with VA is perfectly fine. |

Watts only equal V-A when the power factor is 1 (e.g. incandescent lighting). When the power factor is not equal to 1, you need to divide the Watt rating by the power factor to get the V-A rating.
