Hello Bill,
I also am surprised and are wondering what thgis meter is *metering*.
I believe that the system used overhere is as described by you as Delta.
Also, I found that on the main line with several wallsockets, the readings
differ for no apparent reason.
In the kitchen, one plug shows 10, the next one (1,5 meter away) shows 30
and a third (1.5 meter away) shows 67, which is close to the cooking gas
plate, where only electricity is used for the piezo lighter, and the vapour
exhaust (not working).
The first plug is ca 3.5 meter away from the fridge, so that does not seems
to have any influence.
When I plug in the coffeemachine in the first socket, the value of 10 rises
to 30.
So, I am confused what this is all about.
I do not have a leakage current.
My earth leakage circuit breaker with 30 mA would stop, if that was the
case, when I plug in my grounding measuring meter in.
This meter needs 15 mA, so anything above that makes the breaker halt.
