Many thanks john, desl for replies. Will have a go at repairing the MM although i dont think ill try that again. I understand how dangerous electics can be. Will get the immersion changed. But thanks for clearing up my original question. regards. p.sThe resistance was about 15...

So one lead clamped to live wire the other to live terminal on immersion? this should give a current reading? fair point about needing to know i just wanted to know what i'd done wrong really. will also look at buying a new meter :oops:

Thanks spike for the reply. Ive tested voltage and appreciate your way of testing the ideal current however is there anyway of proving the element is drawing the expected current. I have a newish DMM. what would be the correct procedure for testing the element in series. Thanks again.

Hi there, could anyone give me some advice as regards testing my immersion heater in the hot water tank i have. Thought i understood my multimeter however when trying to test the current it caused my fuse to trip. Is it not a case of turning it on the correct setting i.e black lead to...
