[a] For other qualities, follow the screw’s manufacturer guidelines.
CAUTION
For all screwing that holds a particular component such as a bus, contactor, etc. it will be necessary to
apply the tightening torque indicated by the manufacturer of the same component
Screwing should be tightened correctly only when necessary, i.e. when the factory marks are not in place.
For small screws that do not have marks, the good electrical praxis will determine if it is loose.
