Power factor issues [RE-wrenches]

[Allan Sindelar]

Fellow Wrenches:
1. What do you use to measure power factor on AC loads? It looks like the
Brand 20-1850 is a good bet, but is there anything that's good, easy to use,
and cheaper?

2. Do you bring up power factor when sizing power systems or when discussing
CF bulb selection? Does anyone carry and sell high power factor CF bulbs for
this reason?

3. Who has determined by actual measurement that it takes less DC power to
run a high power factor CF bulb than a low power factor CF bulb? How much
less?

4. In other words, I have read Sylvania's piece on the relationship between
beer and foam. How much attention should we pay to this issue?

Thank you.
Allan at Pos E
