Residential power is traditionally measured in watts, not V-A. Commercial power is typically measured in V-A, with an additional fee for power factor problems.

It's important to remember that on a computer, the wattage shown has no relationship to the wattage pulled from the socket. The numbers shown are maximum values. You have to measure the power draw and you have to measure it in volt-amps, not watts because that's how residential power is measured (at least in North America). Buy an energy meter that shows volt-amps. They're relatively cheap - typically less than $50. Ed
