What was power factor, ?
Divide the 951 by the pf to get the true VA that was being used at the autoformer, plus you are forgetting to add the load support power
The A/C was using 951 + (33*12.6) = 1366.8/PF = VA used
With my a/C it is typically around 0.87, even less in really hot weather
That makes the above calculation cone out to 1571 VA
My guess the voltage did not recover fast enough
And you again tricked the magnum into voltage support
Something I believe you are trying to avoid
