Instead it shows the ecat producing over 1 kW, and was totally ignored by the Professors.
Don't know when and where this picture was taken.
However the screen layout suggests that the PCE-830 is in 3 phase, 3 wire mode.
Voltage of about 240 Volt suggests that the measurment took place in Europe and thus that the mains frequency should be 50 Hz.
However the PCE-830 shows a frequency of 5.3 Hz !
Normally you set the frequency on the PCE-830 to a fixed mains frequency of 50 Hz (Europe) or 60 Hz (USA).
In that case the the display will show 50 F or 60 F, the F meaning that the frequency is set fixed.
In the picture shown the display shows 5.3 A, the A meaning that the PCE-830 is set to automaticcaly trying to determine the frequency.
And it is failing to do so, probably due to the a non sine current wave form.
It will now use the 5.3 Hz as the base frequency for determining the higher order harmonics and these will be incorrect.
As a result the presented measurement results will also be incorrect.
So if the results presented in the display where ignored, then that was a correct decision.
They have no comment since 10 years.
Incorrect. In the UNSWORN DECLARATON OF GIUSEPPE LEVI in the court documents Levi made a comment about the critique on the Lugano test.
Maybe not detailed answers we all expected, nevertheless it is a comment.
This photo was taken by Adolph Schneider, the Switzerland region licence holder for Leonardo Corp products, in the middle of the December 2012 test, part 1 of the “Indication of ...” Levi et al report. Note the date on the watch, which was to confirm the time in the video recorded of the PCE-830 power meter. Compare to the photos in that report.
