According to Ignoramus25850 :
If the meter measures actual power consumption, then hear output of
the running idler (and wires) should be equal to measured power
consumption, without a load that is. Let's keep that in mind.

Yes -- which is why I was predicting a slight improvement in
power costs for a tuned converter over an untuned one. How slight is a
function of how much of that energy is going to heat the wires.

Enjoy,
