I know that you can only draw 1800 watts of power from a regular 120V, 15A plug. Is there a limit to how many VA that can be drawn?

No Sceadwian. It's strictly based upon the amps which generates IR drop and heat in the wire. If you look at charts listing the capacity of wires it's based solely on current. Why would the voltage (which affects power) or PF have anything to do with it?No crut, it's based on the maximum power the wire can carrry safely not amps, it's a compound effect not based on a single parameter. Wattage is not specifically based on the amperage carrying capacity of the wire but on it's power handling/dissipating characteristics. The power rating at a given voltage for a given system can change dramatically past a given threshold.
