Multiplus II AC-IN power is off by a factor of 3 in a single phase setup #398
Description
The problem
The reported values for the Multiplus II AC-IN line 1 in my setup are:
sensor.victron_vebus_activein_l1_power_229 = 30W
sensor.victron_vebus_activein_l1_voltage_229 = 120V
sensor.victron_vebus_activein_l1_current_229 = 0.8A
For a single phase setup, Power_true (W) = Voltage_rms (V) x Current_rms (A).
I couldn't find a confirmation, but I assume that the voltage and current reported by the Multiplus are RMS values.
So, in this case, 120V x 0.8A = 96W.
Why is the reported value 30W?
