DM-II™ Fuse Replacement/Voltage Selection Procedure
True RMS Voltage and Current (volts and amps): True RMS is calculated by using Parseval’s
theorem:
Real Power P (watts): The real power that performs the work of creating heat, light, motion, machine
output, etc.
Apparent Volt-Amperes S (VA): The total power required to be generated to provide the desired work-
ing power output.
Reactive Volt-Amperes Q (VAR): The “non-working” or “phantom” power that is needed to charge
capacitors and magnetize inductors, i.e. reactive power to sustain electromagnetic fields.
