Just did the heater wires on my 100W plexi superlead build and as I was checking continuity, I noticed that they were also connected to the ground. Is this right? I realize that the PT is connected to the ground lug through the green and yellow wire but should I be getting continuity on the heater lugs on V1-7? Is there no resistance through the PT when it is not on? I just wanted to check before I got too far and had to hunt down a nick on the insulation of one of the wires.
Thanks!

Re: Heater Wires
No, there is hardly any measurable resistance to the heater winding, at least for the average meter to read.......no worries most likely.
