There was a voltage multiplier set in the setup of the PCE that has been corrected. In-line measurements are being used to verify the setup of the PCE. I don't think they should be using the SCR controller - I would rather they use the variac. The load should be pretty much flat-on resistive

The guys performing the test are being tricked by the phase shift between the current and the supply voltage. A triac controller will cause that to happen. Can someone contact them directly and let them know that this may be the hangup. It is painful to watch them chasing this problem. I

If only it could be that simple ... the wire resistance is changing as a function of temperature. For the Kanthal A1 wire, it is not changing too much though. But it is still a good and easy sanity check measurement. Bob On Tue, Feb 3, 2015 at 1:16 PM, David Roberson dlrober...@aol.com wrote:
