Ok, so that means that there should be the correct number of loops since it loaded fully in the 120/208 3ph mode. Assuming that is the case, then the likely culprit are the two burden resistors not going into parallel via S8?
Kloppk gave me some more insights on how the monitoring works. Here is what he explained to me:
"There is a fault that can cause a 803A to pass a 208 3 phase load test but fail with an Overload fault when running 120/240 single phase. Namely in S8 contacts 13 to 14. In 120/240 S8 13 14 close...
