   Not a problem, Ian! If you want to learn anything about Power Factor   
   have a look at....   
      
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor   
      
   Note in the first para, where they talk about "or due to a non-linear   
   load " they are talking about any circuit the contains a capacitor   
   and/or an inductor/transformer and/or a transistorised circuit.   
      
   I glanced over it .... didn't see anything to go against my " *OPINION*   
   " .... but I could be wrong!!
