I was wondering if anybody had any idea about my current conundrum. I've got a new energy monitor and happily switch on and off things around the house and it goes up and down. However when I switch off everything it only goes down to 14 - 23 Watts. Perplexed I decided to take separate fuses out of the fuse panel and found that only taking the plug socket ring main fuse out would let the monitor fall to zero.
I have unplugged everything on the ring and occasionally it will drop to zero but 99% of the time it is either 14 or 23 watts.
Could there be a small short in the wiring that's not enough to trip the fuse but leaks a little power? Is there a mouse in my skirting boards leaving a tv on stand-by? How will I ever know? Should never have got the monitor thing, I could sleep before.
Thanks a million,
John
