i will say this
i could run a 100amp PF corrected wfco with a champ 2000
the 100 powermax would make the champ 3000 grunt hard
the champ 3000 had no problems with the wfco 100
so i can't say much more than i think the wfco PF correction is better than the PM version.....snipped some.

Shows PF is "unity" 0.99 but "efficiency" is 84% based on VA but input is 1620 watts. Output would be 14.4 x 100 = 1440, so
1440/1620 = 89% Clear as mud! :(
However it does say PF is 0.99 while the PM3-100 says it's PF is at least 93%, so that is in line with Mr Wizard's observation.
