Frequently asked questions

How is apparent power different from real power?

Apparent power is the product of RMS voltage and current in volt-amperes; real power also accounts for the power factor.

Can I use it for transformer sizing?

Yes, the VA and kVA values are the units commonly used for transformer and UPS capacity planning.
