I still don't understand.

Isn't one VA equal to one watt? A watt is a volt-amp.

How can a unit be both 425 VA and 275 Watt?



No, a VA is not equal to a watt. To understand this you need to understand
the differences between measurements of power for DC and AC. Try reading my
post and following the link.
