Motor terminal fasteners material
Motor terminal fasteners material
(OP)
Hopefully, this is a well known issue. We receive from Europe electric motors with copper L-shaped power terminals [for current range (400-900)A]. Motor manufacturer includes in scope of supply brass fasteners (nut, bolt, flat washer, lock washer) for all pre-drilled terminal holes. For US installation we will use appropriate UL listed lugs. The installation contractors question why we use brass fasteners. Can we use steel fasteners, for example, blackened, or special plated steel would be required? Please advise.
