If you take a resistance reading with a dmm and it is set on auto, and the reading shows "M" for Mega (example, 18.42 M Ohm's), I'm assuming that would be equivalent to 18,420,00 Ohm's?
I had a brain fart today while troubleshooting some tile floor heat, related to their rated resistance and have been second guessing myself all afternoon!
The heating element is rated for 16 Ohm's. It's not putting out heat. No current draw at t-stat.
Not sure if heating element was compromised during tile install. Was ohm'ing out the leads to element and definitely didn't get 16 Ohm's. Tried a couple of meters with similar results.
After figuring this out, then need to interpret those results...
Moderators, if you feel this belongs in different section feel free to move it...
Thanks!
