[RE-wrenches] 1/2 wave loads

[Jay]

I can’t remember if I sent the update.

We identified the load as a Japanese bidet. Once unplugged everything is working normally. 

So whatever people want to call the 1/2 wave. It’s what multiple OEMS call it. 

If I can find an oscilloscope I’ll send along what the wave form looks like.
