I have a question about W and VA. I just purchased a UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supply) that has a rating of 400VA and 250W, my question is why are
they not the same? I always thought that in most circumstances P = V x I,
and doesn't VA just mean V x I, the same thing? I have a feeling that I am
missing something huge here. Thanks for any info.
