I mentioned here, or another thread, that my incoming electrical service has had 6.0-6.4% THD as reported by my P5 since I got it…and that the P5 is doing all it can to get the output down to .2% THD. In the last week the incoming THD has consistently improved to 4.0-4.1% THD…and I can see improvement on the displayed V sine wave too. Now the P5 is consistently putting out just .1% THD. There have been electrical utility trucks here and there around town. I wonder what has been done to improve the service…(rhetorical question).

Hey @calord! Yeah, they were in our backyard too. I haven’t looked at my P5 in a few nights, but I’ll see if I have the same improvement.

When the Utility replaced my local transformer, sh…t got a LOT better.
