So can we agree on the 101 formula, P=EI?

[chemelec]

Yes, the formula "P = EI" is Correct for "Pure DC" and "Pure Sine Wave".

But your Typical Meter CAN'T Accuratey Measure other Waveforms for eiher Voltage or Current.
Therefore It is Not Correct for a Square Waves, Sawtooth Waves or any other waveform. Especially true for Mixed Waveforms.
Your Output is a Mixed Waveform.

Additionally when using a device such as a Welding Transformer, Because of the Inductance, You also have "Phase Lead and Phase Lag". This Severly Disrupts Accurate Measurements

I would suggest you go to your Public Library and get some books and do some reading on this.

One very good book is the "ARRL Handbook" for Radio Amateurs.
It covers a Lot of topics on power, waveforms, phase and measurements.

Probably I'm wasting my time saying this, But You have a Lot to learn.

Jebus: All I am Trying to say to BillyHydrogen is he Need to study this subject some more. Learn the Formulas and all the "in's and outs". I NEVER Meant that as an Insult and I hope He didn't take it that way.

Relying on other people to show him something May Not prove to be correct.

And I hope BillyHydrogen Persues that knowledge quest.

AlaskaStrar: Full Wave Rectification Rectifies Both Positive and Negative Waveforms, Making it More Efficient. But there is STILL Ripple. Otherwise it wouldn't be Necessary to Filter supplies in Power Amps or Elsewhere.
Re: Lag and Lead: Capacitance and Inductance have Nearly Perfect Opposite Effects at a Specific Frequency.

Trival: For Your Information, I was Contracted to Invent those Products.
I Have NEVER Cheated anyone out of Any Money. Also Definately Never with a Patent.

The Patents I hold were Paid for by the Companies I was contract by at the time. My Name is on the Patents because I Am the Inventor, which is the law. Ownership of the designs is by both me and those companies, but I have No Interest to Build and Distibute any Product. I'm a Designer.

I have also Designed some devices For Sears Canada and Numerous other Reputable large companies.

That Statement is Just a Bunch of Crap.

No offense takin Chemelec, I know my limitiations in this field, I am no expert in electricity or electronics. I posted what I saw, that`s it. I just want off the grid, period .
