AI Thread Summary
There is a discrepancy regarding the output power factor of a UPS, with the datasheet from BPC stating a power factor of 0.8, while the local agent claims it is 0.9. The discussion highlights concerns about the reliability of information provided by sales representatives compared to official datasheets. Participants emphasize the importance of trusting documented specifications over verbal assurances. The original poster expresses skepticism about the 0.9 figure, believing 0.8 to be more accurate. This debate underscores the need for clarity in product specifications to avoid confusion among customers.

What is the truth?
I am evaluating some UPS with main subject output power factor 0.9 ... as example on on the company data sheet of BPC stated 0.8 PF for all 300 range
http://www.bpc-ups.com/uploads/tech_spec/134.pdf
... but the local agent has sent to me the following letter stated that the vendor will give me 0.9 for the same product CL330 (30/24)," ...And after receiving message from BPC company whom we are their agent We ensure here the following :Power Factor is 0.9"
For me 0.8 is much more close to the true!


Thx

Welcome to the PF.

Is there something that you want from us? Are you asking a question? The datasheet says the output PF is 0.8 as you state.

It sounds like there's a discrepancy between what the datasheet is telling him (PF = 0.8) and what the salespeople are telling him (PF = 0.9).

Personally, I trust a datasheet more than salespeople.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
