Equipment draw electricity even when switched off?

Question

I read that some electrical equipment like TV or DVD Players will still draw electricity even when you switch them off and that you should un-plug it to save electric consumption. Will it still draw electricity even when you switch off the main wall power outlet too? Do you have any sites that list such equipment?

ok in regard to the drawing of power if the equipment switch is off but how about if the wall socket switch is off?

Answer 1

Many electronic devices draw a small amount of power to run the microprocessor which allows the remote control to switch them on. This amount of power consumption is insignificant. Best not to unplug if the device is used frequently. If the outlet is switched off, there will be no power used.

Answer 2

ok this is an easy question yes they do draw electrical power still while switched off its not much power just enough to run things like the power light, and maybe some other small items like the infrared sensor so you can use the remote also some power leaks from the electrical cord not much but alittle anyways if you shut off the switch like on a surge protecter it will stop that but its not that much electricty.

Answer 3

If such things are off simple by the switch on the TV it is still on standby and therby still uses a bit electirty.
Best way if not using it turning off at power point it will not use any.

Answer 4

Yes, they draw. But if you want to know how much...
A 40" LCD TV when in stand-by draws approx. 2 Watts.
When operating, at least 200 Watts.
