Testing Water Heater Element Using Multimeter or Ohm meter
As you know that i also published a post about wiring water heater, today i am writing about testing water heater element. As you know that we use water heater element for heating water. The testing of water heater element using multi meter or ohm meter is too simple connection. So lets start step by step it. As you know that electric water heater we use two or one element for heating water. If two element and water heater stop producing the heating then you can test or check your upper or down water element by using this method which i am gonna to to share with you in this post.
Before i am telling you about the process of testing, first we get step one which protection. So first switch of the circuit breaker form your main distribution board which you used for water hea ter or if you dont know which breaker is control the wiring connection of water heater then switch off the main circuit breaker and then start work.
Now remove the water heater element form the water heater thermostat and then set your multi meter knob on connectivity testing. Or set your multimeter on ohm testing or diodes testing. Then connect your testing leads to water heater element terminals or connection points as is shown in the below diagram.
So if the meter did not shown any reading like above diagram then its means that water heater element is cut internally. However if its shown reading like below testing water heater element diagram.
In the above diagram i shown that meter shown the resistance, so its means that your element is working fine however if your water heater is a shortage problem then test the shortage as shown in the below method.
For testing shortage in your water heater element, you need to connect a multimeter one testing lead to connection terminal and other lead to element body as i shown in the above diagram. Note that if your multimeter shown the reading or connectivity as i shown in the diagram then your heater element is internally shortage and you must change it. However if it dont show any reading then your element have no shortage problem and you can use it.....
