These are all good ideas. Especially the part about shutting everything you believe is on and then check the meter to see if it is still running. I managed a small utility for 30+ years and only a couple times the problem was the meter. Most of the time we would help them track it down and there was several heat lamps in the dog houses or under the trailerhouse to keep pipes thawed. We found extention cords with bad insulation that were in partly buried and it bled energy but wasn't a direct short enough to trip fuse or breaker. Or they had vehicles plugged in 24 hours a day thinking once the motor is warm they shut off. They didn't have a clue that they turned on and off as needed.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
