Happy Breffast!
That was a bit of tongue in cheek. Having worked in electronics and the power industry all my life I know the difference. Here on the board the thinking is VA=Watts. That's why I remind folks about Victron inverters. We can easily forget a 3000VA Victron is 2400 Watts. Saw one vendor today and the inverter was showing as 3000VA = 3000 Watts in the add.
Are you aware that all inverters are rated in VA regardless of how they're advertised? The issue here is that Victron makes their ratings clear. 5000W for PF 1. 4000W for PF 0.8.
Go look at the ratings for a Magnum MS4XXXPAE unit... Watts, Watts, everywhere... until you go look at the actual specs... 4000VA.
