Wrong power consuption from Air conditioner

[fmalfatto]

Hi, I have just installed an Halo+ AC (Hardware: 009-128).
All is working fine, but I think that the values from _f_electricity sensor are not right, because they go up and down reaching 5 kW. They do not match with the daily power consuption that is right.
TY for any suggestion!

f_electricity is most likely current effect in W. I see some of the Halo models can use up to 7.3 kW:

HA will sample the value approximately every 60 seconds, so it is will not be very accurate to calculate power consumption (kWh). How is the Riemann sum compared to daily power consumption?

Ty for so fast answer. My tech card for the conditioner tells max 1500 W during cooling. It is plugged into a normal 16A plug, so I'm sure that it could never get so much without heating the cord.
Here are the ha history graphics for today. As you can see the daily consumption is about 4.5 kWh, and the Riemann sum of the second graphic would give a value about 3 times greater.

Here the tech specifications of the AC:
