R1 R2 on Radial circuit

[TheCodboy]

Just installed a small length radial circuit. Total length from board no more than 2 meters. Halfway along is a FCU and a double socket at the end. Linked line and earth and tested at the socket and got a R1 R2 reading of 0.10 ohms,hit the switches to confirm polarity and the reading stays the same. Am i missing something here? surely i should loose continuity and the meter should go full scale, just like when testing R1 R2 on a lighting circuit? Am i having a proper brain freeze moment here??

At a guess the terminals

yep.... hence why toggling the switches gave me no polarity check

why WOULD you test at the connections if you have a perfectly good, new 2G socket available.......

His plug whatsit was bust

How were you getting 0.10ohms for a 2m length of cable is the next question

His duff plug thingy would be my guess

Just checked my notes, it was actually 0.08 and might be closer to 3 meters. I'm away to drink enough Estrella to forget this whole episode....
