[QUOTE="JMN, post: 226679, member: 8469"] You're looking for the resistance reading to be the same for the elements. A 0 ohm reading between them, if they are in series the wire between them should test as if you are touching the probes together. The larger and stronger physically the connection is the larger the current which can pass.Oh, the meter's probe contacts will have plenty of connection to test properly. Under load the elements are passing dozens of amps. Simply put continuity just means there is a circuit, not how much resistance is in the path between the points under test. [/QUOTE]
