"Only 3 ohms?"  How much resistance did you expect to measure?

3 ohms would mean 0.33 A (if the resistance were linear), far less than the
power supply's 20 A.  If you expected 10 A in normal operation, the
resistance should be 0.1 ohm (again, if it were linear) at 1 V.

Because IC components are nonlinear, how much resistance you measure
strongly depends on the ohmmeter's applied voltage.  (Most ohmmeters don't
apply a voltage, so don't expect a fixed value from your meter.)
