Electrical connection deformed

Electrical connections can be deformed by over-tightening. This will also cause increased amp draw, power loss and heating. Source: Maintenance Technology Magazine.

Power Factor
Building owners and managers have installed power factor correction systems to avoid penalty charges from the utility company. Many power factor correction systems over 5 years old are not working as designed, if working at all.
