Sorry if there is already a post on this subject. With regulations stating that installed equipment is to be as per manufacturers instructions, what % of you folks use a torque screwdriver. Thanks

My elecsa assesment guy told me in october that shortly they will be compulsary for board changes (to follow manufacturers guidelines) and they will need to be shown on annual assesments
Whether we like or not, torque screwdrivers will be one of those tools that you just will have to have. We cannot cherry pick what reg we will adhere to and which one we will choose to ignore, unfortunately ( manufacturers instructions ) ties you into doing what they recommend.

after 20 years of tightening terminal screws i've developed a feel for the correct amount of force
now schemes recommend i bin this skill for an overpriced tool i dont need lol.
**** off.
The Schemes are just stating that you need to comply with bs7671. I dont like the fact you need to use at torque screwdiver but it like or not thats the way its going.

Did a multible switch board installation with three phase busbar system. Used a torque wrench on all the nuts and bolts as specified by the manifacturer. Boss came in showed him what I had done. First thing he does is to get a spanner and then tighten the nuts that were available that little bit more just in case he said. In case of what I replied only to get the answer he knows best.
