What is the power of the inverter 56800vA

Why do inverter manufacturers quote rated output in VA?

That's why you will see inverter manufacturers quote their rated output in VA - its because it is the higher number and so looks better on the spec sheet. Everybody does it.

What are inverter specifications?

Specifications provide the values of operating parameters for a given inverter. Common specifications are discussed below. Some or all of the specifications usually appear on the inverter data sheet. Maximum AC output power This is the maximum power the inverter can supply to a load on a steady basis at a specified output voltage.

What is the rating of an inverter?

The main rating of an inverter is its Continuous Power (in Watts), but with appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, pumps, or any device with a motor, the continuous power of an inverter is not the only rating that matters.

How much power does a sane inverter consume?

A sane and efficient inverter is expected to consume input power related to the "real" output power (W) and not to the "apparent" output power (VA). In your case, it could be something like 200W (allowing for ~90% inverter efficiency, normal for a modern inverter).

Why does my inverter report both'real' and 'apparent' power (VA) ratings?

This is why inverters have both "real" power (W) and "apparent" power (VA) ratings and this is why your inverter reports both values. If you keep adding load to your inverter, you could overload it both by the "real" power consumed by the load and by the "apparent" power, independently from each other. p.s.

What is the nominal power of an inverter?

This is the first value that an inverter displays; for example, an indicative form could be 500 W / 1000 W maximum. In this case, the nominal power is 1000 W. The nomenclature in the image above is also used. This is the amount of power that the inverter is capable of supplying continuously under normal operating conditions.
