WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer Error Due to Heating Typo

​WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer Error Due to Heating Typo:


WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer
The specifications for the WT5000 30A element states a self heating influence for DC current is (0.00002*I^2)% Rdg + (3*I^2)mA.
At 20 Amps that would be a floor value of 1.2A (3*20^2=1200mA).

WT3000  Precision Power Analyzer
On the WT3000  Precision Power Analyzer is (3*I^2)uA which is 1.2 mA and is a lot more reasonable.

Is this a typo in the specifications?

Answer:
This is a typo. mA is wrong, uA is correct. The document will be corrected in a future revision.
