Ok, it seems I'm seeing doubling of network values and power. Here's an example:

I have power coming in from the turbine (1500A 500kV), a relay to allow me to have an intermittent duty cycle, and then a 130A and 200A resistor. The 200A is requesting and receiving 400A for a total of 530A.
This is the root cause of my asking about the resistors, I'm constantly having to reconnect things and change resistors because my amperage is changing and I keep running out of colors.
I should note that my turbine is not always on, and I frequently seem to have to break and replace wiring to get the V/A right. Recall our server reboots nightly, maybe this is a save issue? No chunk loader yet because I'm not yet into fission. v5c, the changelog for 6a doesn't mention anything about wiring, only RF.
EDIT: I have tried replacing the wiring, relay, and the branch line repeatedly and received the same doubling effect. For a laugh I tried turning around the resistor (more colors...), and suddenly the value was correct! Is there a orientation issue?
