Re: torque tables
NEMA does not have a "standard" torque table; the installer is refered to the manufacturer.
However, I believe a Google search for "Ilsco torque" pops up exactly what you are looking for.

Re: torque tables
Ilsoc usually encloses this information with each box of connectors.

Re: torque tables
thyx ilsco does indeed post the info. thanks again.Also found out something interesting in one of the enginering documents on another site which says that the use of antisieze compound,oil,wd40 or the like reduces the amount of torque to be aqpplied to 65% of the "standard" table values. More torque tahn is needed can stretch the bolt to where it may break or be unuseable if removed. I would think this would apply to set screw connectors also although I dont use antisieze on these anyway.
