I agree that reported information are incoherent. the statement that one average effective current is the sum of two others implies that the 3 current are synchronous ...
the fact that people see 4 pulse in a cycle shows that is is not a simple monophase controller however, but a triphase driving a single phase load with 3 wires. it seems the report is wrong in it's assumptions, even if the 2 powermeter will anyway do the job of measuring power... even if my speculation are wrong, it is important to consider that we may be wrong about what is the electric circuitry. this is not a problem for powermeter however, as long as there is no DC and few harmonics above 100x 2014-11-03 23:30 GMT+01:00 Arnaud Kodeck <[email protected]>: > If Rossi has a problem with harmonics and or reactive power, he has > better to rethink his electrical circuit.
