Subject:
Rivets for electrical and mechanical connections
Key words:
- Rivets
- Earthing connections
- Accidental loosening
To be approved at the 49th CTL Plenary Meeting, in 2012
Question:
Should the rivets that serve as electrical as well as mechanical connections be protected against loosening
even if they are not subject to torsion effect in normal use (e.g. rivets intended to fix ballasts).
Decision:
It was agreed that earthing connections shall be adequately locked against accidental loosening, either by:
- at least one screw with a spring washer, or one rivet with no circular shape;
- two rivets in case of circular shank according to sub-clause 4.11.3 of IEC 60598-1.
