>>A by product of the square wave is that it contains a broad frequence spectrum and so will see a different impedance (and lower power factor) than an equivalent peak and rms sine wave. This affects power capacity but doesn't have any effect on the components.<<

Thanks. Based on what a EE told me years ago I was left with a sense that there was a subtle difference between stepped square wave and sine wave. With all the advancements that have been made over the years I didn't know 1) if the was a difference and 2) if it was significant.

Since I'm going to be buying a new computer, SPS, etc. I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
