Hello, and first of all, I'm sorry that I'm asking for help right away. The problem is the high electricity consumption of 1800 KWh
for two months /old bill for the amount of PLN 902 gross/. Yesterday, when reading the meter, the legs gave way - the bill was 1150 !!!. From this bill you have to deduct the electricity used by the aquarium, approx. 17KWh per day, and so about 20 KWh per day escapes somewhere. I have energy-saving lighting, a freezer, a fridge with a freezer, an electric cooker, two computers working /laptop and stationary/ washing machine and TV. Well, and central heating with two circulation pumps. A family of 3 where only computers work 12 hours a day. I wrote down the meter at 2.40 am and at 8.40 am and the consumption was 1.723 KWh for 6 hours / the consumption of the aquarium was already calculated on the basis of the "Voltcraft" power consumption meter connected. I don't know if something is hitting the wall or the mass. A year ago, before setting up an aquarium, I paid 270,- for two months and I was tearing my hair out and now I'm going to hang myself. I even replaced the odometer.
How can I check if my current is leaking somewhere? I was thinking about connecting this Voltcraft box by the meter to the socket and I wanted to plug in a plug with two cables, one cable to the ground strip and the other to touch the wires of the transfer plugs /those that click when there is a short circuit and you have to flip the lever with your finger/ I wanted to check through it current consumption on the relevant lines, i.e. light on the first floor, ground floor, in the basement and the same in sockets. My question is whether such a connection of this box to measure consumption will be appropriate and whether I will not burn something. I've messed up more than once, so now I prefer to ask in such a respectable forum. I will be grateful for help and direction in solving this knot. Regards. Miroslaw
