I know mathematically this will be extremely low current and won’t even come close to tripping a equipment fault breaker.(30ma)

But anyways I had to do a bunch of in line splices on a heat trace run and I always check before powering up. But instead of getting the typical OL. (Open circuit)

I’m getting 300k-400k ohms between bus wires to equipment ground sheath on the cable.

Should I be concerned?
