[QUOTE="Sharpend, post: 443859, member: 17152"] Data, do yourself a favour and unplug absolutely everything that is connected to your socket circuit. Switch off all other circuit breakers. Read meter notice either red light flashing or dial moving, these indicate something is using power (something still connected) if no light or permanent light or no dual moving no power used. Now switch on plug with nothing plugged in take note of meter again. Now plug in USB adaptor take note of meter again, report back findings. Alternatively unplug USB adapter and plug in kettle switch on kettle note meter. [/QUOTE]
