The hot wire ammeter would just give is time averaged (integrated) amps. we
have no time averaged voltage to gowith it.
I would imagine the best shot would be to use a Wideband CT like a Pearson
in the tank and a Pearson wideband capacitive divider for voltage reading.
Hook to two channels of a digital storage scope, select a math function of
A X B and the resultant crazy waveform would be in true watts
(instantaneous over time). We would only have to time average (integrate)
it over a second to get the RMS watts. Problem is, there would be lots of
noise and the instruments would be at risk in all but a very small system.
This would give RMS power actually in the tank.
