significance of VA on power monitor
I've been experimenting with a plug in power monitor. It reads out in
watts and also VA. As I understand it VA and watts should read the same when it's a straight resistance circuit, but differ when there's a capacitor or an inductance in the circuit. I'm really only interested in how much power comes in and I'm charged for through my external electricity meter. Is the VA reading of any practical use to me? |
