When I doubled the 0.1 ohm resisters it didn't make any difference when I measured it. Don't know why. It should have been half the resistance. Trev, placing 2 x 0.1 Ohm resistors in parallel gives you close to 0.05 Ohm. If your measurement gadget does not say that then I would doubt the gadget, FYI, it requires a *very* good connection at such low Ohm readings *and* the measuring current is much higher than the standard multi meter can supply. IOW, you need a special low Ohm meter, I believe there is a kit for this available from the kit suppliers. Klaus
