Comment by rfranke on 5 Oct 2016 05:27 UTC type ReactivePower = Real (final quantity="Power", final unit="var"); Do we make tools for users or users for tools? |

Hopefully tools for users. One pragmatic solution would be to explicitly list the ones we allow and their definitions (or possibly remove some of them). For just the unit-part we have (all found in MSL) - in addition to some allowed non-SI units that can be used with SI (min, h, d, l, bar, B, eV - and spelling ° as deg): Power: |

The link also lists The solution might indeed be to explicitly list all supported Non-SI units. I hope that anyone agrees that e.g. Electrical engineers would be happy to find |
Official units of measure for electromagnetism are found in IEC 80000-6. |
Please do NOT replace var by V.A or VA - it is important to distinguish apparent power (V.A), reactive power (var - note: in lower case!) and active power (W). |
So is the conclusion we leave it as is and allow "var" and "VA" etc? |
I guess we shall leave "var" and change "VA" to "V.A" as this is in line with the convention of specifying units. |
Can you create a pull request for it then? Thanks. |
…o "V.A"" This reverts commit 1578583.
