7. Additional resources
In addition to this manual, refer to the job-specific
literature, manuals and drawings that will provide useful
information as you install, operate and maintain
the
switchgear.
8. Torque fasteners
Heat generated by improper terminal torque is a leading
cause of equipment failure. Torque terminals to the values
shown in the following table.
The Eslok® fasteners provided include an integrated
thread
coating that ensures they will remain at the torqued valued.
Once torqued to the proper value, draw a line across the
fastener head and the surrounding metal surface so you
can
visually check whether the fastener has changed position
and may require attention. Bolts torqued at the
factory will
be marked in the same way.
The following torque tables apply to horizontal and vertical
busbar screw connections, electrical component
screw
connections, terminal connections and structural
components of the MNS-SG system.
NOTE: For equipment connections and mountings, see
the
manufacturers’ technical data sheets.
