Voltage between B & C is 119V which is equal to 1.19mA but input current between A & B is 14mA. Why is it so?

Edit: In the common perforated board, unused parts are blurred

Edit 2: Let me assemble the circuit in another board and shall post the details. 05june18

    \$\begingroup\$ What is the scale of your current setting on your meter? If it's something like 1 A or 0.1 A you're just seeing the difficulties of converting low currents to voltages. \$\endgroup\$ Jul 5, 2018 at 14:57

    \$\begingroup\$ How do you measure the current?\ \$\endgroup\$

This is a meter error. If you look at the data sheet you'll see that the accuracy for AC current is 1.5% + 3 counts. However, if you look at the bottom of the page, you'll see that this is only specified over the range of 1% to 100% of the span. The smallest range in AC current is 4 amps, so any current less than 40 mA has no accuracy spec at all, and you simply can't trust it. 1.19 mA is less than 3% of 40 mA.

Don't believe your meter when you are misusing it.

The section of the Fluke 106 datasheet mentioned by the user WhatRoughBeast is added for anyone who is interested. Thanks for all those who involved to find a solution.
