Thermal and Mechanical Specifications
A mounting compound is recommended. The torque
should be rechecked after a period of 3 hours to allow
for the spread of the compound. Use of cable lugs is
not recommendd, busbars should be used and
restrained during tightening. Threads must be
lubricated with a compound
