Help.. Emersion Problem

[hi-spec plumbing heating]

Info:



Current is measured in Amps not Volts. I noticed it too but thought not worth complaining about.

Voltage is what you should be looking for [/i]

yes and that is what i put 230v

Sorry Guys confused now...

What should the multimeter say if the current is good?

Don't take this the wrong way ....but.

zero understanding of electrics/multimeters/diyer with neon screwdriver/electrical fault on emersion circuit.

Not a good mixture....do yourself a big favor...get a qualified electrician.

Quite right.

But he never asked what voltage to expect, he asked how much current.

only cause he don't know what he's looking for.

I would suggest you get a pro to do this for you. 230v and water together can make for a nasty surprise. If you connect the earth wrong, you could potentially have every metal pipe and everything connected to that become live without the circuit tripping. I was told it is an unpleasant experience. Admittedly not from the horse’s mouth but from his widow.
Diy is great but you really do not seem to be able to judge whether it is safe or not. My guess would be that you have not wired it up correctly or set the thermostat wrong.
