A: As someone else posted - this is NOT an issue. I have a second post below with a photo of my clamp meter thinking this was a huge problem. It is NOT A PROBLEM at all! I purchased the little meter shown below for $25 from you know where. You can see it measures "Power Factor". This is the important piece, and not understanding this caused me some alarm and expense. There's a great article from the blog greengumption dot co dot uk slash 2013/03/induction-hobs-the-question-of-standby-and-the-power-factor/ that explains what is happening. I'm disappointed I didn't find this before I put up my original post. So - here's the correction. Due to this concept called Power Factor, your induction stove (and a lot of other technology) may register an amp load on a standard clamp meter wildly different than what it is actually using. This is the "Apparent Power". Without knowing the Power Factor, you are unable to calculate the "Actual Power" used. Setting up this little meter below, you can see my cooktop was on for 10 hours overnight in it's idle state. It looks like it's pulling 2.215 amps, but with a Power Factor of 0.01, it is only using 3.5 watts. This is the actual power. If it were really using 2 amps at 240 volts, this would be over 500 watts. But the proof is in the kWh used shown on the photo, just 0.032 kWh over 10 hours. Since this is a 240v appliance, that's actually 0.064 kWh, or 0.0064 kWh for every hour the stove is on. Let's math that out: 0.0064 kWh x 24 = 0.1536 kWh per day 0.1536 kWh x 30 = 4.6 kWh per month 4.6 kWh x $0.12 per kW = $0.55 per month $0.55 x 12 months = about $6.65 a year I also validated this by pulling meter usage from smartmetertexas dot com which has 2 years of historical data in 15 min usage increments. I looked at midnight to 6 am usage (when the household is sleeping, so everything should be "idle") for the same period year over year before I installed the cooktop and after. Did the same for when I had the wireless timer setup (photo below) installed. After a lot of calculations, I came up with about 4.5 kWh a month difference with the cooktop installed... almost exactly what the little meter with Power Factor is telling me. So - 2 different data collection methods that match outcomes. Now, we could quibble over whether an "off" appliance should be drawing any electricity. Regardless of that, this is well within the realm of reasonable, and about 100X (literally) less than I thought with my very misunderstood first reading with my clamp meter. I hope this helps some folks that consider themselves handy and have some tools like a clamp meter. Don't freak out like I did! Your cooktop is operating quite normally and NOT sucking an enormous amount of electricity when it is off!
