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.
