Hi, Sorry to necro such an old thread, but its related anyway.
I have a house, which is always "vacant" . But when I check the TNB app, daily its consuming , I kid you not , 4-5KWH per day consistently
The meter is already converted to Smart Meter and its wiring is already came with 3 phase wiring.
What I did was :
i) I have a Kilowatt measurement meter, which plugs in any electrical device to measure.
So I measured my Samsung inverter fridge as the first culprit. (and also the fridge does not have any 5 star TNB energy rating sticker)
As I measured after slightly more than 24 hours, it consumes around 1.1Kwh and its time electrical usage recorded is around 17 hours 45 mins (meaning the remaining 6 hours 15 mins it is recorded sleeping at 0 watts)
2) Yes I have few lights turned on, but they are either LED or energy saving bulbs. They couldn't had consumed so much.
3) I have tried turning off the ELCB and Mains , checked the smart meter and confirmed it measures zero Amps in each phase.
4) When I checked the Smart Meter ,amps per phase, it shows around <0.1 Amps per phase. With exception at one point of time, it was showing 0.7Amps on Phase 1 due to fridge compressor running.
5 kwh is around 20.83 Amp hours. That translate to 0.87 Amps hour
I cannot brain, where has the remaining 3-4Kwh gone?
Not even an aircond is turned on.

Maybe double check if any equipment on standby?
Maybe keep 2 phases off and run just one phase at a time to trouble shoot the phase/area; ie process of elimination
