Torque settings

Jam
Hi all,


Obviously, where available we use manufacturer's torque settings for connections. But where do they get them from?


I ask this not least because it's not always easy to obtain, at least in a timely fashion, but also because I appear to have conflicting instructions on some OEM'd equipment (comparing the original manufacturer with the wrapped supplier) or notably different settings when using the same lug onto a very similar terminal bar from a different supplier. It would also be helpful to be able to sense-check the answers for misplaced decimal points.

    Ditto what Sparking chip said, plus, in an ideal world, the termination hole would be filled with conductor to ensure large point of contact area, doubling helps to go some way achieve this idea, I never twist, except perhaps cpc in switch back box connections and rose earth terminal
