Inductive cooktop gives wrong power readings

[dBC]

@pieterdg

But just after the breaker for the cooktop i measure a constant 0,6 amps while its turned off. About 130W, i that possible? But only apparent power, there is no real power component to that, since i don’t seem to pay for it

My induction hob draws 0.66A while just sitting there waiting for someone to push a button. You can see a picture of the waveform in this post.

Without that green Voltage trace to reference it against, there’s no way to know how much real power is flowing. In this case it’s about 3W Real and 165 VAR Reactive, plus a little bit of Distortion power.
