Can someone with a Hughes Autoformer tell me if it is normal to measure around 10 ohms of resistance between the hot and neutral prongs of the plug? I was expecting infinite resistance, so hoping to ...

Autoformer is not an isolation transformer but rather one big coil with several tap points to get the different voltages. How would it work with an open circuit? There is no power switch.
If this is about the plug melting, this is fairly common during high usage as many pedestal connectors are worn, pitted, dirty and corroded causing a poor connection and some heat.
I am not sure if the Autoformer is an Autotransformer or a tapped transformer.
