I would suspect a display problem with the Watts Up ... like showing
the wrong range.  I *measure* 4.4 mA and 4.2 mA respectively on my K3s
- s/n 622 and 1450 - with my trusty Fluke 85.

It's either a display problem in the Watts Up or your PAs have problems
- unplug one wire from the circuit breaker and measure again.
