Example: for a power measurement made at 10A, the instability of the
measurement will be 0.1A/10A or 1%.

Note (1) - The bandwith is 3 kHz in voltage and 2 kHz in current in AC
Notes (2) and (3) of the previous § apply.
Note (4) - Any power measured less than 5W causes the display of dashes "----"
Note 5 - The active powers are positive for power consumed and negative for
power generated.
Note 6 - The signs of the active and reactive powers and power factor are defined
by the four-quadrant rule below:
- The diagram below sums up the signs of the power as a function of the
phase angle between U and I:
Quadrant 1 : Active power P sign + (power consumed)
Quadrant 2 : Active power P sign - (power generated)
Quadrant 3 : Active power P sign - (power generated)
Quadrant 4 : Active power P sign + (power consumed)
