Just like last time I have the split plugged into my welding extension cord.
One of my welding extension cords has a 240v energy meter added to it.
When I turned the split off I just happened to notice it was drawing and amp. Yes while it was off.
So I figured that's odd I should verify with a note meter so I put my fluke235 amp clamp on it.
Same thing.
It's drawing an amp at a really odd power factor. Something like a 0.04pf. Which means there is probably a capacitor on there.
Really low power factor readings like that can indicate a leading power factor.
I don't know if the kwh billing meter will read that but I'm assuming it does.
So I will be disconnecting power when not in use, not just turning it off.
