NO DC, and precious little HF can pass. If you're really, really worried about the HF, use a motor-generator. 2. Measure the voltage and current on all 4 lines (3 phases and neutral): measure the current by the voltage drop across calibrated inline resistors. Log the results in a text file at a suitable time interval (1 second for a half-year test -- 20 million x 8 channels x 24 characters -- hardly 1G of data.) 3. Use two thermocouples for the entire test (also logged) -- eCat cylinder (test point chosen by use of IR camera) and ambient. 4. Periodically and randomly (average N times a day) record and log all 8 voltages with a wide-band oscilloscope (100khz) for a few AC cycles. 5. All of the log files being broken into separate files periodically (eg per day) and uploaded (eg dropbox). All of this logging to be done for the complete cold-hot-cold cycle. Nobody's pointed it out, but the LEAST accurate measurement is the CONVECTION, which when done indoors can be affected by stable air-patterns. 6. I'd be inclined to add a "chimney" over the ecat, stir up the air-flow with baffles and/or fans, and log the temperature at several points at the top of the chimney. 7. Include a blank (1-day test), also for a cold-hot-cold cycle, including the 35/65 heater pulse. My $0.04 : 8. Try and get Rossi to use the "Penon" version with the hole in the middle. (At very least, remove the "flange") Place one IR camera looking into the exit hole from this perfect black-box.
