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...

You are trying to deal with Power Analysis. Kill-A-Watts cannot correct for phase angle error in load -- the damned instrument itself cannot detect when it is being fooled.. It takes an obboard CPU to do that and sampling rates 10x higher or more.
Compare it to trying to qualify Phasor Algebra using an Abacus.
Accept generator motor loading for what is is
STALLED: Too much load
RUNNING: Within load limits
WITH AN OSCILLOSCOPE, advanced math and lots of patience I can analyze a single or three phase load. Then what? What is my objective? Can I do anything about it? The answer is only yes if I change change the electrical characteristics of the load. This means intensive fundametal circuit design changes.
This is like trying to configure a diet for a horse you're riding? Versus when he stops eating is enough?
