[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 443735, member: 13534"] Hi Fata, You will also remember from your physics in school that you cannot destroy energy, only transform it from one state to another. For example, you put the brakes on, on your car, and the kinetic energy stored in the car [by virtue of its motion] is converted to heat by the brakes. So, when your socket has nothing connected to it, how can it be using power???.. Is there any heat, or light, or motion being created?? no.. It is not consuming any power then.. john... [/QUOTE]
