I do have a genuine Amprobe, but it measures only AC Amps.

Milli-ohms is not enough for me Eric, and we're running PWM, so a few pieces of wire it is. Maybe just one, allowing the others to run through their breakers. After all, I only need a comparative reading - if they are all the same, they're all good (or all bad!), but if one is appreciably different, the mechanical team has some work to do...
