...I noticed they mentioned power-factor (PF) once, but never mention anything more about it again. Do they say more in the manual?
...without that, all the data is NOT truly accurate...representative, yes, but not accurate. Without knowing the PF, it's like all the data is 'scaled' but you don't know whether it's scaled UP or scaled DOWN.
...typically the PF is always less than 1.0 (or 100%), but can vary quite a bit if you're a long ways away from the major down-converting transformer(s)...and, whether or not your power company has installed "phase-compensating" capacitors across their distribution lines.
