Does the DC portion of an inverter experience the Apparent Power consumption of the AC part?


If the AC portion has no load, then the DC portion sees it as an inductive load I assume. So does power factor come into play when calculating the DC wattage consumed?


Let's say AC is 100V 0.1Amps no load. Do we just say the power dissipated is 10 watts? Or is it 10 x pf?


If it's 10 x pf that's the wattage we use to compare the DC wattage being consumed? (assuming no other losses).

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
