Does it need an updated firmware? The currents also appear the same in the Web Interface. The Voltage appears correct.
I saw in the most recent update that there's a 1.40 version of code for the PDP and for the Talon SRX as well. You can get those updates from the Cross The Road Electronics website.

I think you'll want to upgrade. The PDP documentation says: "Power and energy signals were not computed correctly in firmware versions earlier than 1.40. Updating to 1.40 will ensure Power and Energy signals are updated correctly."
