unimportant, but I am curious to see whether there is a problem with Vortex.]

Thank you. I appreciate hearing the voice of sanity. The NFPA has
insisted that KVA be used in calculating the conductor size for the
NEC in lieu of KW.
Now that's a challenging set of acronyms! It took me several Google
lookups to figure out this has nothing to do with National Federation
of Paralegal Associations or the National Fluid Power Association,
or, ummm . . . NEC Corp. or the New England Conservatory of Music. I think:
NFPA = National Fire Protection Association, and the standards issued by ANSI.
KVA = kilovolt amps (apparent AC power)
NEC = National Electric Code
KW = kilowatt (easy)
Absolute insanity.
Or AI for short.
