Then either calculate Zs = Ze + (R1+R2)+(R1+R2)

or add the additional socket side R1+R2 to the measured Zs.

And rememebr, you ONLY have to measure Zs at the socket outlets, C&G state for all other points, measure or calculate.

Understand what you are saying but thought that applied for the dangers involved with testing on a live moving motor as the test rig as a socket and therefore danger as been reduced to a minimum i would have thought this to be o.k.
