Default Voltage/Current Phase Angle

Anyone ever check the VI phase angle on a home central airconditioning
unit? Would be interested in knowing a representative value.

Thanks

Normally these are PF corrected to about 0.90, so the current reading you
get will be 10-15% higher than the actual current unless you have a true RMS
meter.
