Rossi said in his JONP-blog, that they measured between the mains outlet and the secret control box. On one of the pictures of the test you can see three current clamp meters. I think that every clamp meter was used for one phase.
By the way: the low pf has nothing to do with the heating resistors, they are "behind" the control box. 2013/5/25 Andrew <[email protected]> > ** > Why do you think a three wire plus ground feed was used?
