Berke, I have not seen an indication that that power meter senses DC directly. The DC that flows into of from the source supply does not need to be sensed in order to calculate the power being delivered from that source. I realize that this seems contrary to common sense, but there is mathematical support as well as spice model demonstration of this behavior.
I can directly measure all of the power being given to the series diode and load resistor by the AC sine wave source by multiplying the RMS source voltage times the RMS fundamental current magnitude and taking into account the phase shift between them. All other harmonics and DC make no difference to the determination. The spice model replication will offer a second verification. This should put to rest the issue being repeated by Cude and other skeptics.

I haven't been able to figure this out from the manual or the datasheet, but I'm sure someone who has actual experience with three-phase power measurements should be able to answer that question. -- Berke Durak
