--The efficiencies stated by one poster are horribly mis-stated and incorrect. I simply didn't want to argue about that. He's just wrong, but I don't care.
And no, I also didn't wish to bring up the finer points of 3-phase power, delta or wye connections - it would spoil the tongue-in-cheek intent of my post.--
One must at least try to be accurate or one loses credibility.
"One must at least try to be accurate or one loses credibility."
Ok,fine. Are we talking about a delta or a wye-connected 3-phase 480 volt feed? Shall we agree on a 0.85 uncorrected power factor? Do we have a switched power supply?
ah, nevermind, the punchline just got horribly mutilated.
