The power measured on a PAN-42 does not match the power of a PAN-10/PAN-12/PAN-14 of the same device. Why is that?

PAN-42 measures current, voltage, and power factor. Therefore, its power measurement is highly accurate. 
 
For PAN-10/PAN-12/PAN-14 power calculations, a static voltage value and power factor is used from the Panel Configuration and/or the Account's Default Voltage. Since these values are entered by the user, these may not reflect real life values. 
 
Hence, it is expected for the calculated power to deviate from the PAN-42 measured power values.
