Standard Limits, Equations & Space Presets

DIN 43673 / NFPA 70B busbar trunking joint bolt torque specifications and ANSI/NETA MTS Table 100.18 infrared thermography Delta-T limits.

One-Click Normative Presets (Auto-fills Target Limits)

Measured Inputs

Calculated / Evaluated Results

NETA MTS Table 100.18 delta-T criteria set the repair priority, and the survey is only valid at >= 40% of rated load. Joint torque is compared with the manufacturer's specified value.

Pending / Not tested — results stay neutral until valid measured values are entered.

  • Torque Deviation vs Specification

    - %

    Not tested - enter the measured value. Acceptance: Within +/-10% of the manufacturer's specified torque [NFPA 70B / OEM data]

    Pending

  • Joint Delta T vs Similar Component

    - degC

    Not tested - 1-3 degC: normal variation, no action. [NETA MTS Table 100.18]

    Pending

  • Survey Load Validity

    - %

    Not tested - enter the measured value. Acceptance: Thermographic survey taken at >= 40% of rated load [NETA MTS §9 / NFPA 70B]

    Pending
