See https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/394 - if I am not mistaken, the DDL has captures from devices with old firmware (but the captures were taken with old versions of NUT that included this scale factor).

Affected DDL entries:

https://github.com/networkupstools/nut-ddl/blob/master/Eaton/Eaton__Eaton_5PX__netxml-ups__2.7.4__01.dev

No strong opinion on these... may have to experiment with similar devices. To say the least, the numbers in those files seem to add up (e.g. order of magnitude for voltage*current vs power). But also they lack a decimal point :-\
