   High power covers all cases which is why it was emphasised we use that   
   in the 2 years of motors and power distribution modules in my Electrical   
   & Electronic Engineering degree.  Or we used VA.   
      
   The terms wattage and ampage were never used in any of the books /   
   teaching material I used at the time.
