Adding VAs Gen Running Things Question
I had the gen out again doing a few tests. One thing that I don't understand is this: RV fridge on 120v (a heater) by itself VA (and watts same) 355 MW by itself 1426 (watts 1340--was some PF wi...

I am not pretending to be in a Lab. It would be interesting to see all this on a scope, but I don't need to for what I am trying to find out. (And did thanks to the help from everybody on here for what to look for)
IMO the Kill-A-Watt is doing a good job for me, where I am seeing consistent results even if those results are not calibrated exactly.
EG, see the three sets of results in the thread about converter loading during Bulk. The "internal consistency" is clear.
I found it to be useful to have the Kill-A-Watt at the generator end and the Trimetric on the battery end to get the input numbers to go with the output numbers. Doesn't matter if they are not perfectly accurate in absolute terms. Just consistent and "close enough"
