How to Troubleshoot and Test an Electric Heater

Element may not be burned out if it doesn’t ohm. Some elements have fused link on the insulators.

I am checking a wall Heater with a Meter I'm getting a reading from the terminal to the outside of the Element

Thanks. My condo unit will often trip the circuit breaker. I was told it may be a bad heating element, but I guess you have to do all this checking to confirm? Wow, I may have to just pay someone as mine is located over the bath tub and difficult to access? Is there a short list you can recommend for one that trips the breaker often?

I have a question about the heat have a 15 kw furnance...with 10 kw on a double stack seq...and 5 kw on a single 10 kw element is also on a single ..double stack high heat limit the 5 kw element is on its on limit I know that the 24v stat powers up the the double stack and the single stack powers up the elements in a certain here is what is the call for heat from the furnace comes on the elements are clicking on and off during the cycle before the stat is double stack limit switch is opening and closing during the cycle continually ....I did find a weak capacitor 7.5 and it was only reading blower is clean and i mean spotless there is NO duct work WHY would that double stack limit switch be opening and closing during the thought it might be bad so I replaced it and the new one is doing the same thing

the heat strip guide is completely wrong.5kw is 10 wire 30 amp breaker, 8kw is 40 to 50 amp, 10kw is 60 amp, 15kw is a 60 and a 30 amp.and 20kw is a 60 and a 60 amp breaker.some of the wire size is wrong also.Please Dont Use That Guide.
