Makes sense Dave. Just doing the simple math on the values that Ian has measured on a breaker with, say, 100 amps of line current and applying I²R would imply generating around 150-KW of heat on each line, which just cannot be.

I agree, a breaker can not operate with 15 to 16 ohms as it would be melting down.
