How does the ST-3/XT3 get the results? How about with a variable load?
The ST3/XT3 can display instantaneous RMS reading for voltage and current.
The hardware within can get an averaged RMS over 12 cycles at 60 Hz and we could also run a moving average over a bigger set of RMS readings to reduce the effect of load fluctuations.
