There was a voltage multiplier set in the setup of the PCE that has been corrected. In-line measurements are being used to verify the setup of the PCE. I don't think they should be using the SCR controller - I would rather they use the variac. The load should be pretty much flat-on resistive for all of the harmonics. They are currently measuring a PF=1. The concerns with the SCR controller are asymmetric +/- switching and noise that could be introduced into the thermocouple channels. Painful to watch sometimes, yes; but they are working through it. I have a chat line open to them.
