Interesting. Presumably you're not paying for those 3 amps, so it's free power!


It's not free, it's still flowing through the meter.



Which brings up a thought. Micky could borrow a DC clamp ammeter and measure current to his ground rod. Or, maybe we all should.

Since the ground rod in question is one that is apparently solely for the
alarm panel which is typically fed from a wall wart, the current should be
zero and whatever it is, it's largely irrelevant to the impedance, which
is the main issue. It's there for lightning induced surge protection.
