Spinning disk meters are becoming a thing of the past. However, I believe
that very few utilities are billing residential customers for kVAR. Many do
charge residential demand and time-of-day rates. Eric, you may want to
comment further.

As I
supply also uses a filter
choke which reduces the current pulsing when the diodes conduct to a minimum.

(Re: APC UPS Charging Power)
I have a site where for many years the only load was a battery charger
feeding a battery to power up the equipment. For many years the power meter
DID NOT MOVE! It started moving when I substituted a GE Mastr II base
station power supply with backup battery.

Hi Mark, I'll weave some comments---
I've always understood poor power factor to be a problem because the
generator and distribution system needs to carry higher currents to
deliver
the same energy into a poor load. That's a problem because the power
companies either suffer higher resistive
Eric,
Kudos on a great explanation

John,
You are correct that when
Hopefully you will forgive me hijacking the post but this brings up a
question I have had for a long time. What on earth is a volt-amp.
My logic would state that is is the same as a watt, which is volts x
amps, as you probably well know. So what on earth is is?
Confused.

Albert,
You are forgiven, because you pose an important question!
