Don, I understand that. George's original post dealt with an inspector and what I assumed was a new installation inspection. In that situation torque wrenches of the type I use could be used to verify torque values without over-torquing the connection. In my area the equipment isn't energized until the inspection has been conducted and passed. I don't think it is wise to re-torque terminations periodically. Torque to specs upon initial installation and then leave them alone.
