The measurement of electrical power that is computed by multiplying volts times amps. In a DC circuit, volt-amps (VA) and watts are the same because DC circuits do not add inductance and capacitance that take away power. In AC devices, volt-amps ratings are higher than watts. For example, in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), the volt-amps rating is approximately 60% higher than the actual wattage.
VA vs. Watts? How much power do I need? Power cond
Hello,
My prologue amp says it has 300 watts power consumption. And my NAIM cd player says 12VA. How do they add up(watts and VA)? I am trying to figure out the max power I need to select the correct power conditioner.
i am so hopeless with these tech subjects:)
