Hi,
Now I understand that this question may seem pointless, so humour me anyway...
A lady had underfloor heating installed about 10 months ago along with her new kitchen...
I was there for the kitchen install but didn't do the mats, there are two mats serving her kitchen and utility room, both are connected to the same programmer....
after she had issues with 'overloading', as she was 'reliably' informed, the mats were disconnected...
anyway ive had a look and it is in fact a L-E fault on just one mat... so connected one back in and its all good with a reading of >999 from L+N-E
the other mat has a reading of 0.01 megohms and 17,000ohm for continuity from L+N-E....
she was sold a new programmer by the company as i passed this info on to the person who has taken responsibility for the install, and they called the technical support - who told him the readings are normal and that a new programmer at £80 was required....
Anyway this mat trips the RCD obviously, but with a continuity of 17k if it was connected to just an MCB it would have a fault current of 13mA? and therefore the mat would work again?
