Terminal Box Connection Question

Good morning. Are washers needed between individual terminal lug connections in the Terminal Box?

No. Stack all the wire terminals on top of each other, put a washer on top of all of them, and then a nut that is tightened.

Reproduction terminal blocks can short out. Attached article is how to prevent that.

Put a lock washer between the nut and the flat washer, or use a nylock nut.

TRUE!

I use little "star washers".

I forgot that, since the question was about flat washers between the wire terminals.

Thanks for adding that. :cool:
