   House Electrical Circuit: Leakage?   
   07 Jan 13 10:44:33   
   
   From: x@y.Invalid   
      
   Recently installed a generator cutover switch   
   (http://tinyurl.com/a6e9fgn) which tells me how much each circuit   
   is drawing.   
      
   I have one circuit which, when I *think* everything is unplugged,   
   still draws 18 watts.   
      
   First thing that comes to mind is that the circuit is serving   
   something that I do not know about; but I am hard-pressed to find   
   it.   
      
   That seems to leave "Leakage".   
      
   Is there any such thing as an electrical leak in home wiring?   
      
   If so, typical causes?   Location strategies?
