Wattage and Current Way Too High on WS-12-250-DC
I'm guessing this must be a damaged switch but wanted to ask anyway. I have a WS-12-250-DC running 1.5.1rc11 earlier today and now 1.5.1rc12 later today. There was a lightning storm in our area of California that blew out PG&E power on the hilltop yesterday afternoon and led to running my two Optima Blue Top D31M batteries down to 11.18V each before it was restored. When I was able to restore remote access to the WS-12-250-DC this afternoon, it shows power values way out of normal range. The switch showed 24.7 V input and 14 A earlier with an AF-24HD (which is also acting strange), three Rocket 5AC, and an AF-5X powered by the switch. I measured the power draw with a meter and it showed three amps max at about 24.7 V. The values in the screenshots are way off. Any ideas?

Yes, you have damaged current sensors most commonly caused by ground current.
You will need to RMA the unit for repair.
BOND your electrical service ground rods with tower ground rods if all possible and add NEW electrical service ground rods to existing rods or it will happen again.
