Conventional and simple resistive DC circuits theory says so� E=IR
I have no argument here David.

However, Ohm's law does not, with any satisfaction, explain the burnt contacts Alistair et al, have experienced.
Some sort of magic must have occurred that sent those D15 contacts directly to ground!
This would burn the crap out of those contacts, as Alistair's photos depict.
How did this happen?

Show me and I'll join your parade...
