2 things, I have used cheap "1,500 watt" heaters to load my MEP-701a and have found that they generally range from about 1,200 -to 1,300 watts draw in reality (double checked with a clamp meter). Also it has been a while since I read the MEP-002a tech manual as I do not own one yet, but it seems there is something in there about rewiring the number of loops through the CT on the amp meter or such if it is set for 120V only vs. 120/240V to keep it from reading 1/2 or double the correct amount (It may have been an internal jumper wire that did effectively the same thing). I remember noting that this seemed strange to me as such procedures are common when reconnecting some commercial generators, but seemed out of place on a money is no object, mostly idiot proofed design like the MEP-002a.

When I first got my units I read in the TM that a wire should be run from some point to L0 when 120Vac mode, and I assumed that this wire should be removed when 220 mode ...... Do not assume etc. I reconnected the wire I disconnected and now my percentage meter reads 75% under my 6000Watt load.
