I have some underfloor heating (electrical) for my kitchen which i am planning on fitting myself, the instrutions say to run the power from a fused spur, via the thermostat. as part of the the instructions it says to test the heating (loose cable) with a multimeter or to use a fused plug for a few mins to check it works.
so here are my questions:
1) on a multi meter is resistance the Ohms sign?
2) if i can test it via a fused plug to test the underfloor heating why can't I just use a plug to power the underfloor heating rather than via a fuse spur (which i understand is essentially the same thing)? would this then comply with 17the Edition? (i will RCD the SPUR or PLUG)
3) what test (setting) do i need to have my multimeter on to check that the plug I will either use or spur of is not already a spur?
The kitchen is RCD protected and has been tested recently during a kitchen installation
sorry for all the questions - thanks for your time
