Equipment instructions specify a terminal torque. How should the connection be completed?
- ATighten as hard as possible
- BUse hand feel only
- Use the specified torque with a suitable tool
- DLubricate every conductor regardless of instructions
Why C is correct
Specified torque is part of the identified installation and avoids both loose heating connections and damaged lugs. Guessing, overtightening, or unapproved lubricant can change clamping force and invalidate the connection.
