Hello,
Does earthing reduce electricity bill ?

If possible just switch off all your appliances and check the behavior of meter
It is single wire aluminum with insulation.So just check if it is copper conductor or some else mettle is used.
So I think we have caught the culprit.
Unfortunately you are using worst possible power cable from my point of view.
First of all, are you sure the meter is working properly ?
If yes, it seems you have some leakage of one of you appliance. Try to disconnect them one at a time to discover if one is causing the problem.
Take into account that a leakage current could flows through the walls or a tap that can act as a more or less good ground.
If you actually observe the meter counting pulses, I would expect a normal reason in a first order, some energy consuming device you are not aware of. If possible disconnect individual circuits to find out what it is.
However if your main net is protected by a differential switch, a leakage towards the ground, higher than 20 mA (or a value like this, according to the regulation of your country) will cause the switch to break.
The internal earth wire of your house is connected at one end to the appliances, but to the other end is left completely unconnected or is connected to something else ?
I have just guess for few minutes it was working on no load during a 10 hours it takes 7 unit on few load which is very large.You can also determine the exact amount of leakage power by reading the meter.
what is it?
i have never seen this in my and other people house here we use only MCB and Fuse.
A differential switch is a circuit breaker that senses the current umbalance between the two wires of the main. If no leakage is present the current goes through the two wires with same amplitude and opposite direction, in this case the current is balanced and the swicth is ON. If, instead, the leakage to ground exceed a given level (in Italy 20 mA, in other countries 30 mA) the switch immedialtly goes OFF breaking the circuit. I think it's called RCD or RCBB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker)
This is useful, for instance, in case a person came in contact with a wire of the main line, so that he will carry the current from that wire to the ground through his body. This leakage to be dangerous has been evaluated into 20 mA (or 30 mA): the threshold of the switch.
Has nothing to do with chemistry, just physical properties. Al resistivity is 65 percent higher, will be compensated by using thicker wire for the same current rating. So normally cable losses are about the same for aluminium and copper wire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and_conductivityplease tell more about AL wire and CU wire chemistry
