He ran higher power steam cats without it, and none of the excuses given make sense. And are there scientists other than Storms, on the list? The actual reason for the Dec run is most likely a holdover from the 2012 hot cat experiments, in which inputs up to 5 kW were used, and an ordinary line would not have been enough. But for the March run, they introduced a new power supply, and planned from the outset to run low power, so single phase would have worked, but maybe made deception more difficult. > We do not have an problem with any of the design issues that Rossi has chosen. Three phase power is common in applications. Not applications with less than 1 kW resistive loads. > Good true RMS power meters are used for the input power measurement. They are good for ordinary applications, but not when there is suspicion of tampering.
