What is phantom load?
Phantom load is also known as standby power. Most electronic devices draw phantom load so that they are ready to operate when we push to “on” button. Next to the TV, which can draw 12 watts of electricity even after you turn it off, the biggest standby energy hog is the home computer and its suite of devices. A printer can draw 11.5 watts when idling, and a subwoofer, 10.8. The most simple way is to plug them all into a power strip and, when you’re done for the say, turn off the power strip.
