I don't want to setup to measure voltage at 60 Hz, but a quick ohmmeter measurement puts the DC resistance below 0.1 ohm.

If it was 0.1 ohm, then at 20 A the DC drop would be 2 V, and power dissipation would be 40 W. From a calculation of 40 W, that alone says the resistance is much lower than 0.1 ohm. AC impedance won't be much higher than DC resistance.

OK thanks, conducts breaker current. You need a kelvin connection to measure that low, like I
used on my 4 gauge loop. Send 1A through it, use a mili volt meter to get voltage drop.
Ohms law gives the impedance. Bruce Roe
