Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2383841A2] The system (50) has detection units for detecting a predetermined tightening torque of a screw and comprising a stop element integrated to a wall (60) and another stop element (40) integrated to a wing. The wing and the wall are adjacent to one another when a screw terminal (10) is fixed in a housing. A determination unit determines a distance separating the stop elements. An indicating unit (42) e.g. LED, is coupled with the determination unit, and indicates when the distance is smaller than or equal to a threshold distance. An independent claim is also included for an electrical equipment comprising a fixed connection strip in a connection tunnel.
