Still trying to make sense of 'off the richter' Stetzer meter readings.

Meter is still flashing a huge number briefly (often over 1500) then
going to 1 (which I have been told happens when the reading is higher
than the meter can measure). This happens when nothing is running
(except the fridge).

So I am told it must be coming from other houses on the same
substation, BUT I measured in a cottage in the same street (presumably
the same substation) which just had A/C running and nothing else and
the readings were in the 200s all afternoon - actually it showed the
same reading with the A/C off too (this is a brand-new unoccupied
cottage owned by my husband so there was nothing going on there that I
didn't know about).

The first few times I measured at our house it showed average readings
of just under 50 at most sockets (70 or so at 2 socket) and I have seen
those readings one other time since. The rest of the time meter shows 1
everywhere.

I just cannot make sense of this!

Any further ideas?

Thanks,
Aline
