If my maths are correct, when voltage was dropped to 102 volts the AC was consuming 1634 watts of power which is less than when is was running at 120 where it was consuming 1704 watts.
Where do I find Part 4? Searching your site for autoformer only returns 1, 2 & 3. Did you discuss Hughes Autoformer’s capability as a surge suppressor. I read that information somewhere recently but can’t remember where. TechnoRV has an article about surge suppressors that said they have surge suppression capability but not other features of a good surge suppressor. It didn’t directly address the Hughes unit. I have a Surge Guard installed and would like to install a Hughes Autoformer but I don't have room for both so was hoping the Hughes unit would do all functions.
I was asked not to publish the report that I originally presented to the NEC. So that report is still under my original NDA and can’t be released to the public. That was going to be my part 4. Sorry…
.....And all this time I thought #3 was the last installment!! Will there be #5,6, etc? Also, somehow I got the impression that the NEC regulation was a guideline and enforcement wasn't necessarily mandatory in the case of Autoformer usage by rv'ers. As usual, thanks for all you do Mike!
I'm sure Hughes won't be happy when you lift the curtain on their Oz type sales pitch. The saying goes "figures lie and liars figure" when it comes to sales rearrangement of facts. Another is "a statement of fact isn't necessarily a factual statement". I'm sure you'll be honest. Don't let the blast back noise bother you.
Pushback never bothers me. Anyone who wants to argue with me needs to bring their slide rule, calculator, physics books, electrical engineering handbook, and NEC 70 regulations. There’s a lot that goes into my testing. 😁

Interested to verify what I suspect, … I could be wrong but I’m always willing and grateful to learn the truth. Thanx for persistence!
You’re welcome!
Mike, Here's where my impression came from:

Hey, I forgot I had a part 4!
I write too much…🤣🤣🤣

I only published up to #4 so far.
It would be interesting to know what the current and voltage readings are on the utilities side of the step down transformer.
That’s Part 4. And I have it all graphed out.
I'm certain you will prevail. Playing word games only reveals dishonesty.
